What is Art Eye Deer?
Art Eye Deer is an online art lesson library created for teens and older children who are ready to grow their art skills.
The lessons are more mature than Artventure’s younger children’s library, with a stronger focus on technique, observation, creative thinking and personal expression.
Teens can explore drawing, painting, mixed media, design, illustration and creative projects through guided video lessons they can pause, replay and return to anytime.
Art Eye Deer is ideal for young artists who want to keep creating, build confidence and explore art in a way that feels age-appropriate.
Who is Art Eye Deer for?
Art Eye Deer is designed for teens, older children and young artists who want more than simple kids’ art activities.
Art Eye Deer works well for:
- Teens who love drawing, painting and creative projects
- Older children who have outgrown younger art lessons
- Homeschool families looking for flexible teen art lessons
- Secondary students wanting extra creative practice
- Young artists who want to build skill, confidence and personal style
Art Eye Deer gives teens the structure of a guided lesson while still leaving room for their own ideas, choices and style.

Teens often want art lessons that feel more grown-up, thoughtful and skill-focused.
They may be ready to explore more detailed drawing, stronger compositions, new techniques and artworks that feel less like a children’s craft activity and more like a real creative process.
Art Eye Deer helps bridge that gap.
The lessons offer clear guidance without talking down to teens. They are structured enough to support beginners, but open enough for more confident young artists to add their own style and interpretation.
Explore more mature art projects
Art Eye Deer lessons are designed to feel more grown-up than younger children’s art activities, with projects that explore drawing, painting, observation, design, colour, composition and creative expression.

How Art Eye Deer works
Art Eye Deer is simple to use.
Choose a lesson from the online library, gather the suggested materials, then watch the video and create along with the teacher.
Teens can pause the video whenever they need more time. They can rewind a step, replay a favourite lesson or return to the library whenever they want to create again.
For best results, we recommend watching the lesson through first, then watching again and following along step by step using the pause points.

Build creative confidence, not just art skills
Art is not only about the finished artwork.
For teens, making art can support confidence, focus, patience and self-expression. A guided art lesson gives them a clear place to begin, while the creative process gives them space to make decisions, solve problems and develop their own visual voice.
Art Eye Deer helps teens keep creating through the years when many young people start to doubt their artistic ability.
The aim is not perfection.
The aim is progress, confidence and creative growth.
