Proportion

Children get discouraged when their drawing looks “wonky.” Often, they want it to look more realistic. Guide Dots help them to nail the proportion so they can lean into learning other techniques.

Hi, I’m Cindra

YIKES! Did you read that? ☝️ When I learned that, I made it my mission to capture kids’ interest in art when they were young and nurture it until they felt confident in their own style!
Nearly, all our fundamental abilities are developed as a child, and then stay with us for life. They are hardly ever developed when we are already older.
I got my art education degree and opened a brick-and-mortar art school, named Art Nook. Classes started to grow to capacity there and I knew it was time to take my brand-new way to teach art and reach more kids.

Enter Guide Dots.

It is one-of-a-kind, created by an art teacher, and has FIERCE strength when it comes to encouraging your child's love of drawing!

Trusted by Moms

"My 8 year old son is very creative but with drawing he would have trouble figuring out where to start and how much space each element required, so would get frustrated. His first Guide Dots picture was the fox. He watched the video tutorials with joy, getting more excited as his picture came to life. It was lovely hearing him say "mom, I've got this" as he worked, and seeing how proud he was of his finished picture.”

How Guide Dots Works

"Between ALL THE THINGS, carving out time for my five-year-old to create is not always easy. She loves to draw and color, but adding yet another activity to outside the home wasn’t an option. Guide Dots is the solve we were looking for. My daughter is able to sit down with a roll and complete each project without any intervention from me. More importantly, she feels proud about what she’s made and eager to make another. Highly recommend this to anyone who’s child is interested in art!”

How Guide Dots Works

"We got Guide Dots for our son, Mace, for Christmas. He has always loved art. His favorite color is rainbow! We would sit him down to make some art, but he would just quickly scribble something in 5 minutes, when we knew he could do better. Miss Cindra's teaching method is amazing and has finally gotten him to have patience with his art. He will now erase lines until he's happy with them. He is better able to express his wonderful and creative brain!”
