Ten painting classes at your home, one complete level, and a real finish line: a signed diploma and medal presented on the last class. For children aged 4 and up, anywhere in Dubai.
The Artist's Journey is a 10-class guided painting course for children aged 4 and up, taught at home anywhere in Dubai by founder Inga Chalaia. Each 60-minute class uses real acrylic paint on canvas, all materials are included, and the course completes one named level. It ends with a signed level diploma and medal, a written progress report and a page in the Dolce Arty Online Gallery. The course costs AED 2,500, or AED 250 per class.
Every option is taught by Inga at your home, with all materials included and the space left as we found it.

Children who join before our first exhibition graduate as Founding Artists, and it says so on their diploma.
Each course completes one level. When your child graduates, the next level is there for them, with a new diploma at the end of it.
Brush control, mixing colours from primaries, filling a canvas with confidence, and finishing a simple composition from start to end.
Light and shadow, layering paint, painting from a reference image, and planning a picture before the first brushstroke.
Composition, portraits and landscapes, and beginning to develop a personal style across a small series of works.

A signed level diploma and a medal, presented by Inga at home on the 10th class, plus a written progress report and a page in the Dolce Arty Online Gallery with every artwork from the course. Children who join before our first exhibition graduate as Founding Artists, and it says so on the diploma.
The Artist's Journey is AED 2,500 for 10 classes, which is AED 250 per class. The Atelier Experience is AED 4,200 and adds framing, a printed book and a short film. A single trial class is AED 300 and is credited in full if you join a course within 7 days.
Most children start at Explorer. Inga adjusts after the first class: older children or those who already paint confidently can move to Young Artist straight away.
You can reschedule any class for free with 24 hours' notice. The 10 classes need to be completed within 16 weeks of the first one, which leaves room for school holidays and short trips.
Our first exhibition is planned for June 2027, before the summer break. Every child who completes a level by then is invited to exhibit, with invitations for the family. The Online Gallery page is available as soon as your child graduates.
Yes. Each child follows their own level and receives their own diploma. Ask Inga for the sibling rate when you reserve.
Inga teaches every class herself, so she takes a small number of children per term.
