Art class

titank:

Anyone can share their experience with Kids Art? Thier registration fee had been doubled to $60 & the program is $90-$100 for every 4 lessons.

I have stopped sending ds1 to kids art since nov last year cos they have getting part time Nafa students to teach and they don't really know how to teach. Kassie and Adrian are hardly at the Tiong bahru branch. And they want to shorten the lesson from 1.5 hr to 1 hr.

I cant agree more!
My friend's kids were taught by all these Nafa students who don't know much about kids psychology at all. They don't know how to engage them and most seem to do it asa pasttime or a way to make money?
I myself wouldn't trust these youngsters to take care of my kids, even if they can do art...
Why should my kids be made guinea pigs of youngsters who are themselves learning art?
I think most parents hear the name nafa and think they're in for a good deal, but I think the outcomes should speak for themselves....
Just my humble opinions.

Hi mommies!


I was reading this thread from the beginning and was really convinced that Kids Art is a good art schhol till the last few posts. sob! sob! Could any mommies kindly recommend any good art schools in the west? I like the philosophy of kids art where they focus on techinique ratrher than those that expose kids to all types of mediums within a term.


BTW, mariadcruz & mummy of 2, have your kids been taught by Teacher Nita or Angela from Kids Art (Bt Timah Br)? How are they?

TIA

Oh, i don't send my dearies to Kids Art.
I engage Teacher Thom from lifelong journey who comes down to our house to teach my DD and DS. Actually, taking all things into consideration (travel expenses, time and also one-to-one versus a classroom setting), I consider it value for money. Nothing beats individual attention for a tailored course. My kids can be a hyper bunch lol
Plus, the fact that my kids have been producing great works...and feel good about themselves! That's what counts most, at the end of my busy day lol

Sorry for the late reply. Seldom visit this thread nowadays. DS1 attended the branch at Tiong Bahru so I'm afraid I can't comment on the teachers you mentioned. As I withdrew DS1 due to change in teacher, you may still want to consider the Bt Timah branch. You can always request to observe their lesson to see if the teachers are good. Suggest you sit in for the time slot that you plan to register your child. Afterall their philosophy is good just that the people are not executing it well. My 2 cents.
