Online art classes for kids/beginners in Nigeria — drawing, painting and discovery, taught by a working artist.
Beo School of Art Vol.1 is a fully online art school for kids and beginners. Weekly video lessons, interactive quizzes, practical assignments, and a personal review call with Benjamin every week — all inside your own course dashboard at learn.beoarts.com.
Benjamin Odeke
Muralist. SFX Makeup Artist. Founder of Beo Art Studio.
Benjamin has been creating art professionally since 2019 — from large-scale murals and SFX makeup to fine art portraits. He has exhibited at FAME three consecutive times (2022, 2023 and 2025), completed a galaxy ceiling mural for the Naval Catholic Church in Abuja, and built a studio practice that serves clients across Nigeria, the UK, and the US.
What makes Benjamin's teaching different is simple — he is a working artist, not a theory teacher. Every technique in this course is something he uses in his own work. When he talks about light direction, shading, or colour mixing, he is talking from the drawing board, not a textbook.
This is not just a workbook. This is a full online art school.

Do the practical
Pick a real object from home, set up your light, and draw or paint what you see. This is where the skill actually builds.
