What you need to know
Weekly art classes drawn from the live animals at ARTIS.
- Zoo entry is extra: each kid needs an ARTIS membership or school pass

- Drawing starts in groep 3, clay modeling from age 8
About
Drawing, painting and clay modeling classes held inside ARTIS zoo, with the animals as the subject. Teachers collect the group at the Artisplein and walk it into the park to work from life, often at outdoor spots, so kids learn to look hard at an animal before they put it on paper or in clay. Groups are formed by age, and parents do not join the class.
