The Academy

Art Lines Academy — students and instructors at work

The studio at Kelambakkam

Art Lines Academy was founded on a simple conviction: that art has the power to inspire, transform, and enrich lives. What began as a small studio in Kelambakkam has grown into a vibrant community where artists of all ages and skill levels gather to learn, create, and discover their potential.

We are not a factory of techniques. We are a place where beginners are given patience, where experienced artists are given depth, and where the ancient disciplines of drawing, painting, and observation are taught as they were always meant to be — by hand, slowly, with care.

Our Philosophy

We believe creativity knows no bounds. Whether you are picking up a pencil for the first time or refining a technique you have practiced for years, our doors are open and our instructors are ready.

Our curriculum spans nine distinct disciplines — from the precision of pencil shading to the freedom of watercolour, from the permanence of oil painting to the expressiveness of acrylic. Each is taught as both a craft and a form of self-expression.

“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.”

— Edgar Degas
