Our Art Semester is a program for children aged 8–11, designed to develop creativity and a strong foundation in drawing and painting.

At this age, the goal is not academic drawing. Based on child psychology and my teaching experience, children learn best when curiosity, motivation, and play are part of the process. We focus on color, line, shape, texture, composition, fine-motor skills, and eye–hand coordination, gradually introducing more complex ideas about form and volume when children are ready.

Art becomes a way to think and communicate: children learn to turn an idea, feeling, sound, or observation into an image. They are encouraged to experiment, make mistakes, try again, and develop their own solutions rather than aim for a “perfect” picture.

Children work with watercolors, acrylics, pastels, pencils, markers, and collage, experimenting with techniques rather than simply following a fixed model. Each semester introduces them to artists from modern and contemporary art.

The classes are also part of an international community in Budapest. Children meet classmates from different countries and develop friendships while using English as a shared language. We see the studio not only as a place to learn art, but as a place to broaden a child’s cultural perspective.

Our Art Semester for teenagers aged 12–15 is designed for young people who want to take their art further — whether they are considering a future in art and design or simply want to develop a skill they genuinely enjoy.

At this age, we can move beyond free experimentation and work more consciously with composition, light and shadow, colour, space, and visual storytelling. Students explore realism, abstraction, and contemporary art while discovering art history.

Each student develops differently, so the teaching is individual and adaptive. One teenager may want to strengthen their drawing skills, another may be fascinated by colour or contemporary art, while someone else may already be thinking about a future portfolio for a creative university. I adjust assignments and guidance to meet them where they are and help them move forward.

Regular practice is at the heart of the program. Over time, students begin to see something very motivating: their work changes because their skills are changing. A composition more intentional, light, and volume become easier to understand, and personal ideas become clearer.

For students considering creative education, the Art Semester can provide a strong foundation for portfolio development and entrance preparation for art and design schools. Some of my former students have gone on to study at creative faculties in Germany, the USA, the UK, and Hungary.

Friday classes

Fridays 16:30–18:30
Location: Hollán Ernő u. 3, bell 11
Language: English
Free trial: August 28, 16:30, register by +36202139176


Friday classes take place in my private artist’s studio, offering a more intimate and flexible setting for children and teenagers aged 8–15. We draw, paint, experiment with different techniques, and explore the work of artists from modernism to contemporary art.

The studio is also a place for looking and discovering: we have a library of 300+ art books and albums, as well as a separate room with a projector where we sometimes explore art history, look at artworks together, or watch short films and tutorials.

The Friday format allows us to work at a slower pace and give each student more individual attention. Depending on the lesson, we may work from observation, experiment with watercolor, acrylic, pastel and mixed media, study a particular artist’s technique, or simply spend time developing a personal project.

Classes are conducted in English in a small, international group. I also speak Russian and German if a child needs additional support.

Please bring an A4 watercolor paper pad and a basic watercolor set. Other materials are provided.
