Art class

chamonix:

Hi buds,


It's nice to find someone who share the same view.

For the fees, it's $60 for registration (comes with a Kids Art T-shirt, crayons and paint sets) and $90 for every 4 lessons. If you can, bring your girls down to the Bukit Timah Branch on either Tuesday or Sunday, Teacher Kasey will be there. There's a free carrot trial for the kids. (Not eating the carrot :lol: but colouring it.) The kids will be asked to colour a carrot using crayons. Try it and they will learn how they can improve their work easily.

Have fun!

hi foreverj,


Here's the website - http://kidsart.com.sg/Programs.htm .

Kids Art is located on the second floor in Bt Timah Plaza. Art Zone is just nearby. So, be sure to look out for the correct school. Currently Kids Art is sharing the premise with a Chinese Language School (it is moving out soon) and is nearer to CS montessori.

Try talking to the teacher to understand if the programme is a good fit for your child. And the works on the walls will also give you an idea what the kids do in the Bridge Program.

PS: There's also another bigger branch at Tiong Bahru.

Hi all,

seems like many moms here are on the lookout for good art class. Keen to have your darlings acquainted with drawing and colouring techniques?!

My grls been at NaFa arts for 4 yrs now, shes now in p3. I dont know what benefits can i achieve from her being there as art does not add extra marks now n when she gets to p6, Im contemplating on stopping her, some say Nafa cert. help add points to her score should she decide on a good secondary school. Can anyone advise the benefits of art classes for PSlE

My impression is arts stimulate creativity.
Not aware that it can add points during PSLE.

Hi moonee,
what was the initial intention in sending your gals to NAFA? Did they enjoy themselves there? The tangible benefit will probably be gaining admission to SOTA under DSA system prior to the PSLE. The intangible benefits as discussed by many other parents are probably inexhaustive.

Get our children to express their wishes and discuss the possibilities.

Thank u parents who have replied to my post.

Artbeaucourp, Hi, I started to send my grl for art classes as early as 3 yrs old, at that tender age most kids love drawing, yup, a form of expressing themselves and to build up creativity. My grl love drawing so i eventually signed her up at Nafa. Kinderart was very impressieve and she brought back quite unique pieces of artwork..... when she reached primary school, art at nafa was more advanced then in her primary school, had still life drawing,chinese calligraphy, learning primary and secondary colours etc...my grl still love art and dnt mind continuing but my emphasis is on her academic performance now.. she does have piano and chess and this takes up quite a bit of time aside from her other enrichment classes. (not doing too well academically) If she is one that is discipline in studying and keeping up with her school work, I wouldnt mind that extra time for art. Im having 2nd thoughts about withdrawing for fear that I may regret if she needs art in p6 to help her to a secondary school of her choice. Ive not much knowledge about SOTA but heard frm a friend recently that one of the requirements is to produce his past 3 yrs of artwork frm the primary school. . Regarding DSA, at the rate shes going in school now,I dnt think she can qualify as I think results really got to be very good. Oh! btw her art is very normal, no special talent.
