About MyArtClass

A warm placefor childrento grow as artists

MyArtClass is a curriculum-based art program in Mississauga, designed to help children build strong foundations in drawing while developing creativity, confidence and their own artistic voice.

Our approach is Montessori-inspired, encouraging children to observe carefully, make independent choices, think through their work and take ownership of the creative process. Each three-month term combines seasonal themes and engaging projects with important art fundamentals such as shapes, proportions, composition and observation.

Every class begins with drawing. Children are encouraged to use references as inspiration while adding their own ideas, imagination and personality, so that every artwork feels uniquely theirs.

Founder & Teacher

Meet Shri

Shri has spent years creating art across clay, glass, metal, acrylic, oil and watercolour, including commissioned pieces. Her love for art began at a young age and has continued to grow through years of learning, experimenting and creating.

Alongside her art, she has spent many years working closely with children, and My Art Class is where these two passions naturally come together. For Shri, teaching art is not only about technique or creating a beautiful finished piece — it is about giving children the confidence to explore, make choices and express what matters to them.

One of the things she enjoys most is seeing the excitement and pride children feel when they look at something they have created themselves. Every day, she continues to learn from their curious questions, their unique ways of seeing the world, and the positivity and kindness they bring into the studio.

My Art Class is a reflection of that — a place where creativity is encouraged, individuality is celebrated, and both children and adults can experience the simple joy of making art.
