OPSMA art classes in Mississauga give children age 5 and older a welcoming place to learn drawing, painting and visual expression. Small groups allow the instructor to demonstrate each project step by step while still encouraging every student’s own ideas.
Small Classes, Practical Skills and Creative Freedom
Students learn how artists use line, shape, proportion, colour, value, texture and perspective. Projects are structured enough to teach a clear skill, but flexible enough for children to make personal choices and develop confidence in their own work.
What Children Explore

- Pastel & coloured pencil
- Watercolour & gouache

Who the Classes Are For
Classes are designed for children age 5 and older, including complete beginners. Group placement is based on age, experience and available times. With a maximum of six students, the instructor can provide individual guidance while children also learn from seeing different creative approaches.
How a Typical Class Works
The teacher introduces the project, demonstrates the key technique and helps students plan their work. Children then develop the project at their own pace, receiving feedback on colour choices, proportion, observation and finishing details. Projects vary so students gain experience with multiple materials over time.
