Workshops
Our seasonal workshops (Christmas, Chinese New Year, Easter, Summer and Term-breaks) give non-on-going students a taste of our classes. Each workshop covers an art project that captures festive fun and the essence of the CreativeKids spirit. These workshops are a favorite highlight activity for children during school holidays.
Parent-child workshops offer mums and dads the opportunities to experience what their little ones get to do in our studios. More than just art workshops, these special family activities create unique parent-child bonding experiences through art. Through co-creation, parents and children weave precious moments that last a lifetime.
Whether you are interested in an inclusive activity, or looking for a hobby, CreativeKids offers a range of adult art workshops. In our adult ARTivities and oil painting classes, we supply endless possibilities for art-based creation, with a belief that a creative mind can help you reflect and unwind. We love watching and supporting people awakening their dormant creativity and regaining new energy to mundane lives.
We believe a creative spirit springs from intrinsic motivation, best in an adventurous environment that allows happy mistakes and failures. Competition can be good for children in developing tenacity, self-esteem, and healthy attitudes about participation, winning and losing. Competition can be bad, though, when too much emphasis is on the winning few and distracting children from their intrinsic creative intention. Yearly we select art competitions that can widen children’s world and appreciation of others.
Our Approach in guiding children in participating in art competitions:
- While there is no guarantee of winning, the emphasis of the art sessions is on helping children to strive toward excellence and build courage to face failure or victory
- Our art instructor/inspirer guides each student to work out a self-chosen interpretation of the competition theme/topic
- With a goal in mind, older students learn to research and document his/her creative journey as a part of his/her portfolio
- To minimize pressure on children’s creative motivation, we strongly encourage both parents and our art instructor/inspirer not to inform children before and during the creative process. Only after the artwork is finished will the children be invited to enter the competition.
Digital painting has never been more accessible and easy for children in the modern age. Learning to use the digital medium as a tool can greatly help the students’ creative process. This program will help the student to learn some of the leading digital painting softwares, e.g. Clip Studio Paint, Procreate, etc. Through learning the concepts and tools of digital painting, the children will also be more prepared to use other similar drawing softwares.
Children will be able to do what they can do with physical mediums and transfer that into the digital space. They can improve their technical drawing skills, both physical and digital, through creating drawings and paintings of different genres and themes.
