Art with miraaya is not about perfect portfolios. Instead, miraaya’s art teachers help children fall in love with the world of art and artists through a fun, gradual process. The focus of the class includes opening the mind and perception of a child.
Children are asked to draw their dreams and be inspired by music and stories, allowing them to represent their impressions
on paper. Through these interactive classes, children will develop a better perception towards life and its beauty.
