Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common parent and student questions regarding safety, prerequisites, equipment, and cohort scheduling.

Is Generative AI safe for young children?

Yes! We use strictly moderated, age-appropriate, and custom-curated AI prompt sandboxes. AI is introduced strictly as a creative inspiration tool, not a replacement for traditional brushwork.

What art supplies are included?

All physical art supplies (canvases, premium watercolours, acrylics, clay, and sketchbooks) as well as tablet access during hybrid classes are fully provided at the studio.

Where is the studio located?

We are located in the heart of Indiranagar, Bangalore (100ft Road, HAL 2nd Stage). Exact landmark details and parking directions are shared upon confirming your trial booking.

Do students need any prior art or coding experience to join?

Not at all. For Junior Creators (5–8 Years) and Art + GenAI Explorers (9–12 Years), we build foundational skills from scratch—starting with grip, pencil control, gesture drawing, and color wheels. Our AI tools are intuitive, visual, and require zero programming.

What happens during the ₹499 studio trial class?

The 75-minute trial includes a guided hands-on mixed-media sketching exercise, a live demonstration on our generative tablet displays, a personal portfolio review with an instructor, and a take-home archival art print created by the student.

What happens if a student misses a scheduled session?

We offer up to two complimentary makeup slots per term during our open studio lab hours (Fridays 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM), with mentor assistance to ensure no module is left uncompleted.
