Children bring their ideas to life, creating comics, portraits, and original illustrations.

Inside Our Classroom

Lessons happen live on our platform in small groups, guided by a mentor. Younger students start with traditional drawing on paper, while older ones transition to digital — mastering tablets and professional illustration software.

Our teachers are the core of our school

Teaching at Kodland is pure joy

Teaching at Kodland is pure joy — I get to share my own excitement for drawing with the kids. It’s incredible to watch each of them find their own style, their own mood. To me, art is like a journey inside yourself… and a way to talk to the world without saying a word.

I teach Photoshop and Blender here. We don’t just make images — we build characters and bring whole worlds to life. My favorite part? Watching a kid find their own creative voice in digital art for the very first time.

I show students how to build wild, amazing worlds in Blender. I graduated from UNAL (sculpture, concept art, the whole deal), so I love mixing classic art with 3D. My big goal is to inspire every kid to find their own voice and turn imagination into something real.

I've already learned how to do web design. I've created some really good websites including a pizzeria website.

The classes are actually fun. Last week we had a competition to see who could make the funniest bot. And when you mess up, nobody freaks out about it, they just help you fix it. That's huge for me. And I actually helped my friend with his computer science homework and he got an A! Now everyone thinks I'm some kind of coding wizard, which is pretty cool.

My son struggles with making friends — school's been tough for him. I was nervous about putting him in another group situation, even in an online format. But here something clicked. He was partnered with another kid on a project, and now they're basically inseparable. They FaceTime and text constantly... It's exactly what I'd hoped for!

Noah's problem was he liked everything — coding one day, design the next, then drawing , etc. We didn't want to drop money on a course only for him to lose interest two weeks in. The mentor in the first lesson suggested game development since it combines coding and visuals. Smart call! Noah's been glued to his first game project ever since. He finally found his thing.

Meet your mentor
The session begins with getting to know your kid – what they enjoy, what inspires them, and how they like to learn and explore. Many children feel shy or unsure at first, so we focus on building trust and creating a calm, supportive atmosphere where they feel confident and at ease.
