Something about Us...

This is the place where children are free to roam their ideas, fly with their imaginary friends, build dream castle in the clouds, catching butterflies in the moor, saving fair maidens, chasing unicorns and fighting dragons...



Well, not literally that ... We are a group of people (young and the young at hearts) creating an opportunity for kids to be what they are supposed to be. We believe that each kids are gifted in their own special way and we are guiding and encouraging them to explore their creativity. School, tuitions and parents often push kids to grow up faster to catch up with the society, thus (without them realising) suppressing their creativity. The kids grows up slowly diminishing their creativeness and forgetting how to build dreams.

How does being creative help in Character Building ?

BEING APPRECIATIVE
students that are being taught on how to appreciate art, naturally grows up to be appreciative.


SELF BELIEF
CREATIVITY starts from a BELIEF, SUCCESS comes from an ACTION.



SELF DETERMINATION
students are encourage to finish their artwork within a time frame. all their masterpiece done by their own effort (with our guidance). there will be stopwatch to train the students on time management.

PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS
at each new subject, the teacher in charge would discuss by throwing lots of questions (what, where, when, how and why) to the floor. the students will then discuss and we explore together the ways of looking for solutions in many different perspective.


TEAM BUILDING AND COOPERATION
during this brainstorming session, students are encourage to speak out and share their ideas among the peers. they will then discuss among themselves and plan the layout of their artwork. there will be strictly no copying of ideas.


COMPOSITIONING SKILLS
from planning, the students are to encourage to input ideas to compose a reasonable scenario. each individual students will then arrive at their own composition of artwork.  this method has proven to help many school going children in story writing or compositions.

ORGANIZING SKILLS
now planning and organizing to put ideas into drawing, as to where to start, which picture should come first and then second.

MORAL VALUES
their discipline and behaviour are our main concern.

COMPETITIVE SPIRIT
among the peers, we cultivate the spirit of competition and encourage them to vouch for it.


SELF MOTIVATION / GROUP MOTIVATION
students will be condition to instill motivation by first doing it in a group, then slowly develop the skill of self motivation.

SELF ESTEEM
self esteem comes naturally when they complete their artwork and being appreciated and praised.
