Art Program for Children in Warsaw
Our course at ARTel is a space of discovery. We go beyond just painting — children learn to create images, stories, and entire worlds through various artistic practices. Here, the focus is not on the result, but on the process — the joy of exploration and the freedom of creativity.
Each lesson is a small story where the child becomes the author. They learn to observe, imagine, express emotions through imagery, and most importantly — to believe in their own creative power.
Each block is designed so that step by step, the child discovers new forms of self-expression.
At ARTel, we follow the principle of going with the child. Our goal is to help them develop imagination, turn drawing into a journey of self-discovery, and inspire a lifelong curiosity for the world of art.

“It’s important for me to give children the opportunity to express what they want, while also teaching them the fundamental techniques. Everyone can draw — the key is to find your own way of expression.
My goal is to show how art influences life, how essential and empowering it is for self-expression, and to create an atmosphere where children create with joy and curiosity.”
