I have been asked by friends why I find Art important and why this is an area which I would send Dumpling for classes. To a certain degree, I would say that this would be largely based on personal preferences and a child's interest but I find that it aids the child in focus and allows her to express her feelings/thoughts in a different medium.
Through the usual of colors, I can tell Dumpling's moods and I like that it hones her fine motor skills too where I can see her penmanship improving.
I recently flipped through her portfolio and could see how in a span of less than a year, her strokes / outline are more defined and she is now also able to break out an item into a shape and construct an outline from there.
She has on several occasions shared with me at home on what she learnt from Heart Studio and could 'apply' it though she is not in class. Here's a drawing of her owl after her swimming class. Not bad huh? :)
:: Young Masters Holiday Programme!
Now, for the exciting news! For this year end holiday period, I am pleased to share a giveaway of 2 passes (1 on Peacock Painting and 1 on Landscape) to Heart Studio's Young Masters Holiday Programme (for 5-6YO)! Holiday Programmes are a great way for your child to trial the class, meet the teachers as well as for us parents to gauge if the children enjoyed themselves!
Both classes will open a window of experience for the student to try out canvas painting to the many different interesting subject matters that have been chosen for the class. It will allow the child to understand the technique of painting and exploration of the colors. This will enable the child to express their creativity and interpretation through their own brush strokes and choice of colors.
Here's how to win!

Art allows children to explore and express themselves and learn to appreciate the beauty of their everyday world. And in the words of my 5-year old, Art is important cos "I like it!"

Art for children in important to me to understand the subconscious mind of a child. Also to help my son in expressing himself when words could not. It seems, art is good for IQ too =).
ReplyDeleteArt allows my girl to express her thoughts and ideas, and unleashes her imagination on a variety of medium.
