My Art Pencil

We understand that young children are fascinated by every mark they make, colour they mix and form they create. Hence, lessons are conducted in an interesting and motivating manner that not only stimulate creativity, but also appease curiosity in young children. For instance, children get to use nontraditional art tools like their bare hands and unconventional choice of colours to draw / paint. Children are encouraged to draw and paint independently with the use of various drawing / painting media such as pastel, watercolour, ready-mix paint, acrylic, ink and pencil. They will also learn to draw / paint on different art bases namely paper with different surfaces / colour, canvas, cardboard, wood and fabric. They will be taught the basics of some art techniques such as brush drawing, pencil shading, monochromatic painting, pointillism etc. (see samples). Subjects are introduced to the kids in the form of story-telling, drawing demonstration and visual presentation.

Suitable for children age 3 - 5 years & 5 - 6 years respectively.

Older kids enjoy details, complexity and realism in their artwork. This programme offers more challenging drawing techniques and more room for imagination that will sharpen visual skills of children and enhance their artistic confidence. Children will learn to draw through discerning shapes, sizes, space, distance and proportion. They will be taught the colour theory, colour scheme, light / shadow, blending / shading techniques, brush drawing, monochromatic painting, pointillism etc. (see samples). Students will also learn the application of a wide range of drawing / painting media (pastel, watercolour, ready-mix paint, acrylic, ink, and pencil) on various art bases (paper with different surfaces / colour, canvas, cardboard, wood and fabric) to create artworks of distinct effects.

Online art classes are available periodically and during times when physical classes have to be suspended. These classes are as beneficial as physical classes because students acquire and sharpen skills very much the same as in a face-to-face setting. Like our studio classes, our online classes provide clear step-by-step drawing, colour mixing and painting demonstration. We review our students' artworks frequently during the class to ensure drawing proportion, colour shades and painting techniques are met. As online art classes are remote and highly visual, it builds up concentration and independence in a child. We welcome individuals looking for adhoc classes or staying far from us to join this class.

This is an intermediate between our children and adult programmes which assists teenagers transit from child expressionists to independent juvenile artists with individual styles. A progression of our Junior III programme, Teen Art builds on the foundation of the former programme to equip students with more mature artistic skills through enhanced concepts of composition, proportion, distance, light and colour shades. Students will be taught more advanced techniques of drawing, painting and shading. These include layering of watercolour washes, blending of dark and light tones, colour mixing, texture making and pencil hatching. Through this programme, students will gain better understanding and control of different art media. Lower secondary students who plan to take Biology in upper secondary may join this programme to polish their drawing skills for their subject sketching assignments.
