Do you encourage your kid's interest in art?

You mean the JA at NAFA? yes...very long wait list...however, if your child is at NAFA kindergarten, you get priority after the child graudates in K2.
ChiefKiasu:
We just turned down our invitation for the 2009 N2 class at NAFA
.
Not sure whether we really need to be on wait list to register leh.
The invitation letter is a generic letter not addressed specifically to the child, can easily pass to someone else either before or after registration.
Seem like no verification of invitation letter or matching against any names on wait list.
I won't be surprised if someone gate crash without invitation letter. Can just join the queue to register. -

hi
I so wanted to send her to NAFA but the waiting list is terribly long. I think they should screen so that only the talented ones are accepted and not simply anybody. Afterall they specialise in Arts and their adult classes are specifically for those who are talented in Arts so why should it be any different for the kids.
how old are your girls? still looking to send them to NAFA? i called up and they still have places for kinderart on fridays

I think generally speaking Mums do not like their child to take up the interest in Art.
My son is taking his "O" level Art this year =D
Art do cultivate a different personality in a person, and we do need the creative part to use our right brain !
I, myself is a "O" & "A" level Art student, lets say it does help in my work now. -
I send my children to Art class as it allows them to draw/paint their thoughts creatively… let them dream…
After that, I display it on our walls for all of us to laugh over it… kind of fun too even for parents… -
Just in case you have a child who might be gifted in art....are there any primary schools which encourage this...or is this talent useful in any secondary school admission in the future... :?

I’m on the NAFA waiting list too… Meanwhile, my 6 yrs old dd goes to Art Zone in Bukit Timah Plaza. She has been attending lessons for more than 6 months and I have seen some improvement in her drawing and painting. There’s another branch in UE Square. Think I might let her continue her lessons there…
I’m also wondering whether achievements in art can be considered for DSA… -

There is an AEP program for secondary schools.

there is also School of the Arts for students which also have a music and performance arts programme.
