DRAWN FROM WITHIN: FOR KIDS (online or in-person).

Imaginative learning for children ages 5 and up

 

Ben has translated the key ideas developed on DFW and combined his experience working with young people to develop a drawing class for kids like no other.

Great for school groups, summer camps and online class excursions.

Drawn from Within for Kids is an online or in-person drawing experience with New York artist Ben Ponté that explores the relationships between the world inside-thoughts, memories, dreams & imagination, and world outside- objects, people and places.

Drawn from Within for Kids is not a technical drawing class, but a way for children to use drawing as tool for self exploration and creative expression.

“Every child is born an artist.”

- Pablo Picasso

Drawn from Within for Kids is not a technical drawing class but a way for children to explore the significance of the imagination and the mysteries of creativity.

All you need is a pencil, paper, and imagination to open the door to the impossible.

Ben Ponté is a visual artist who has spent years exploring the vital importance of the imagination and its implications for self-knowledge.

The imagination offers a unique space for each child to grow and learn in accordance with their own innate and boundless curiosity.

Ben approaches this space with reverence and respect without imposing an agenda, other than to maximize and enhance the free sense of wonderment that drawing naturally inspires.
