PrimeLuck ArtsAbout
An art education practice, in the studio and online
PrimeLuck Arts is an art education practice based at Tatu City, Kenya. The academy takes the way we teach in the room and makes it available to more learners, in a set order, with the same attention to the work each student produces.
We teach drawing, painting, photography and videography to children, teens and adults, beginner to intermediate, in a supportive environment.
Our method
Progress comes from repeating one cycle
01
Demonstrate
A skill is shown step by step by the teacher.
02
Practise
The learner works on a defined exercise that uses that skill.
03
Review
The result is looked at and returned with specific next steps.
We repeat that cycle across drawing, painting, colour, composition and beyond.

The people who stand next to you at the easel
01
Lucky Maingi
Co-founder and painter
Where spirituality, psychology and art meet.
A painter and a passionate advocate for arts education, Lucky co-founded PrimeLuck Arts Academy in 2020 and leads it today. His strength is connecting and combining spirituality and psychology with art. He teaches painting as a way of looking inward as carefully as you look at the subject, so a student learns to see the inner life and then give it form and colour.
His background runs through both the visual and the performing arts, and he is also a photographer.
Since 2019 he has worked at Nova Pioneer as an art assistant, supporting art instruction across the CBE, Cambridge (IGCSE and A-Level) and 8-4-4 curricula. He also runs Dice Arts Academy, a school art club.
In the studio he keeps to one cycle in every class: the skill is demonstrated, the student practises it, and the work is reviewed with clear next steps.
