Art-Club Junior

Children usually start to make art very early — often around 12 to 18 months, when they begin scribbling and experimenting with marks. More recognizable drawings typically appear around age 3 to 4, and more realistic art develops later, around 8 to 9 years old.

Where artists help future artists

Give your child a creative head start with our Online Art-Club Junior Club. Thoughtfully designed to support early development through play. Each exercise introduces age-appropriate activities that help build fine motor skills, encourage self-expression, and nurture confidence—all in a safe, structured environment.

Led by experienced artists, our exercises are carefully designed to suit toddlers’ attention spans while keeping them engaged and happy. Parents also gain simple, practical ideas and can interact with other parents or guardians to support your child’s creativity at home through the club web site.

With minimal materials required and no prior experience needed, it’s an easy, enriching activity to fit into your routine, with no travel requirement. Suitable for ages 2–10, our sessions make learning fun while supporting key developmental milestones.

Spaces are limited—join us and make creativity part of your child’s early journey.

And don’t forget we run a monthly competition where you can submit your budding artists work. Every submission will be displayed in both the Art-Club Junior Group as well as in the ArtyArts Gallery. with parental/guardian permission.

The Art-Marco 
Story

Art Club Junior is a part of Art-Marco and is a curated club involving parents and children. Children aged 2 to 10 years old are encouraged to join the club accompanied by a parent or guardian.

We set regular tasks all designed to develop artistic skills along the way as detailed here.

 

Children usually start to make art very early — often around 12 to 18 months, when they begin scribbling and experimenting with marks. More recognizable drawings typically appear around age 3 to 4, and more realistic art develops later, around 8 to 9 years old.

Typical stages

    •    15 months to 2.5 years: random scribbling.

    •    2 to 3 years: more controlled scribbling and line-making.

    •    3 to 5 years: pictures of objects or people start to appear.

    •    4 years: drawings become more purposeful and recognizable.

    •    8 to 9 years: art becomes more realistic and detailed.
