A New APW Program for Young Artists
We’re excited to introduce APW Junior, a brand-new drawing and animation program created specifically for students ages 10–14 who are just beginning their creative journey.
We’ve developed APW Junior in response to a growing interest among families looking for structured, high-quality art education for adolescents. APW Junior also works as a precursor to APW’s more advanced portfolio prep programs.

APW Junior is an introductory drawing and animation course focused on the fundamentals of animation, illustration, and visual storytelling.
Students learn:
- Observational drawing
- Drawing basic forms and structure
- Costumed figure drawing
- Character design fundamentals
- Perspective basics
- Introductory visual storytelling skills
The APW Junior program emphasizes learning how to see clearly, think creatively, and draw with conviction.
Who Is APW Junior For?
APW Junior is ideal for:
- Students ages 10–14
- Beginners with little or no formal art training
- Burgeoning young artists interested in animation, cartoons, drawing and storytelling
- Families looking for structured drawing classes for kids in Toronto
The program is available through in-person Toronto sessions and live online classes across Canada.
Why We Created APW Junior
Over the years, parents have consistently asked us to create an offering that develops strong fundamentals in drawing, animation and visual storytelling for adolescents between the ages of 10-14 years.
By introducing observational drawing and storytelling at the junior level, students:
- Learn fundamentals of animation early
- Build confidence in their abilities as burgeoning artists
- Transition smoothly into APW advanced programs
- Develop a strong creative mindset and critical thinking faculties
