Art education for ages 10 to 16
Learn to look, then draw.
Every picture is built from the same building blocks: line, shape, colour, light and space. In Schets you try them out on a drawing sheet on your screen, with a task to do on paper, and then you recognise them in art from our own region, from Van Eyck to today.
No ads, no tracking, no account needed. The learning path and the first three topics are free.
Three new exercises every day, the same for everyone. Do today's starter

How a topic works
First look, then try, then make it yourself.
Every topic has the same blocks, always in this order. So you always know where you are.
Why
A question you may have asked yourself. Why do mountains in the distance look blue? Why does that photo look boring?
See it
A drawing sheet to play with: drag a vanishing point, mix colours, move a lamp, mirror your drawing.
Get it
The explanation in plain words, then the rule, and an example worked out step by step.
Do it
Exercises checked straight away, with a hint and the solution. And a new exercise every time.
Make it
A task on paper, in class or at home, with what you need and how long it takes.
After that you read the typical pitfalls, where you come across it in real life and where you can go and see real art, a bit of history, a question for the dinner table and what you need to know first or can learn next.
Four domains
From a pencil line to the Ghent Altarpiece.
Line and shape
4 topics
Lines that tell a story, shape and volume, texture, pattern and symmetry.

Who it is for
For those who learn, those who help and those who teach.
For pupils
Find out why your drawing looks flat or deep, calm or busy, and try it out yourself straight away. There is no such thing as an ugly sketch, only a first one.
Start practisingFor parents
You don't need to be able to draw. Every topic explains it calmly, with a question to talk about at the dinner table and a task you can do together.
Choose a topicFor teachers
Show a picture on the board, hand out the task on paper and print a worksheet with the solutions included.
Make a worksheet
For schools
For schools and teachers.
Schets works in the classroom without any fuss: nothing to install, no pupil accounts, pictures you play with together on the board, a task on paper for every topic and a worksheet that is ready in a minute.
Worksheets with solutions
Choose a topic, a level and the number of exercises. Print it out; the solutions are on a separate sheet, with the drawings too.
Free for teachers
Through Kaft, teachers use Schets for free, on the interactive whiteboard too.
No pupil accounts
Pupils practise without logging in. What they can do stays on their own device.
Tasks on paper
Every topic has a task of 20 to 45 minutes with a list of materials, ready for the lesson or as homework.
