Creativity 521 #98 - Family Fun in Punggol SAFRA Part II {Review and Giveaway of ARTARY}

I like exposing my kids to art. Yes, I believe most of you know that by now if you follow my blog. I love how art doesn't have a right or wrong, how it allows the little ones to be imaginative and free, how it helps to unleash their creativity and let them see things from different perspectives.

So, we've previously shared the first part of our experience in Punggol SAFRA and did a review of Splash @ Kidz Amaze. In today's Creativity 521 post, I'll be sharing with you on our art session at ARTARY and give away passes to some lucky readers too. Read on to find out more!

ARTARY is a children's art studio that offers art programmes specially designed for children aged three to 14 years old. Students learn and experience through artworks, interaction projects, songs and games, imagination workouts and other activities. Classes are also conducted in small groups with a learning ratio of one teacher to four students.


So, our girls were all set to be Little Van Goghs for the day! Guess what they would be doing? Well, painting, of course! It's something they really enjoy and love doing so it was easy to tell that they were both excited and looking forward to this art session. When they knew that they would be doing their own version of "Sunflowers", they just couldn't wait to start!

Firstly, they were tasked to use oil pastels to draw out some shapes of flowers. These needn't be sunflowers per se and the kids were free to draw any type of flowers they liked.



This session, being part of a Family Fun day at Punggol SAFRA for bloggers, was special in that the hubby and I were allowed to sit in and help the kids out whenever possible. Considering that we only had less than 45 minutes or so to complete this activity before moving onto the next, it was a little of a rush for us and I would have loved to have more time to savour the experience with my kids.

While parents were asked to draw and outline a vase on the artwork, the kids got down to painting their flowers after the tedious job of cutting them out (which was mainly left to the grown-ups). The painting part was their favourite because they had the freedom to choose their own colours, mix them up or combine them in any way they wanted.

To finish it off, we applied glue and stuck the flowers onto the final artwork before painting black lines for the stems. See their proud creations above? I was really happy to see that they chose to paint multi-coloured flowers and that everything looked so strikingly vibrant in the end.

It was definitely an enjoyable session for the kids and I am sure they will love to come back for more unique and fun-filled experiences in future!
