DRAWING COURSE
Register for children's courses >
FOR CHILDREN AGED 4 TO 10
Join our engaging drawing classes, where children go on a creative journey to transform animals, plants, and objects into beautiful artworks! We encourage young artists to explore their imagination by examining a variety of items suggested by them or provided by us.
In these sessions, we reveal how every object can be simplified into its fundamental shapes: triangle, rectangle, and circle. This approach not only boosts the children's confidence in recognising the essence of things but also enhances their artistic skills. They will develop their ability to organise images constructively while using outline, handling brushes and pencils with confidence, and experimenting with colour in exciting ways.
Our courses are perfect for preschool and primary school children, as an enriching complement to nursery and school education. By exploring familiar themes within a small class setting, children can experience everyday subjects from fresh perspectives, deepening their knowledge and refining their skills.

6-Course Workshop Description:
For this course, you do not need any prior drawing experience. Just bring your joy and curiosity, and we’ll get started. Experienced artists are also warmly welcomed. As you may have noticed yourself, finding time to practice drawing familiar subjects in everyday life often falls by the wayside.
We will draw simply using materials such as pencils, Edding markers, coloured pencils, and paper. These materials will be provided. If you wish, feel free to bring along fineliners of various thicknesses with waterproof ink. The style we will use is inspired by the technique of sketchnoting.
Each session will revolve around a specific theme. The aim is to learn some symbolic elements related to that theme. After completing the course, you will leave not only feeling happy with a vocabulary of graphic elements but also with a finished product that you have created.

Meet the Course Leader:
Hello! My name is Anne Trieba, and I am the creator of Molli and Lilli. Since 1999, I have been working as a freelance artist, focusing on illustration, graphic design, and portraits for children and families. In 2021, I expanded my creative repertoire to include 2D animation.
My journey began when my own children were young, prompting me to offer art projects in kindergartens. Over the years, I developed a unique approach to creatively support children until they are ready to start school. After spending several years in Berlin, Uckermark, and Munich, I have been living and working in Frankfurt am Main since 2017.
The characters Molli and Lilli were born out of my work with the Westend Kids' Club, where I designed painting courses for children aged 18 months and older. For over three years, I produced a weekly Molli-and-Lilli story. The Westend Kids' Club primarily serves families from diverse international backgrounds; thus, it was important to distil both imagery and language to their essence. Through Molli and Lilli, children can learn their first words in an enjoyable manner or expand their vocabulary through engaging conversations inspired by the illustrations in the stories. Many of these tales have been inspired by suggestions from the children themselves.
We take great joy in bringing happiness to children through Molli and Lilli. We aim to encourage conversation and inspire them to discover their own creative paths through drawing and painting.
