- UniqArts and Technologies (pronounced Unique Arts) was established in 1995 by a professional artist, author, educator, consultant, trainer, and art therapist Mr. Lee Thiam Seng (Paul) with a motto : Excellence in Artistry, Creativity, Knowledge Development, and Wellness.

- Since the beginning, we have been focusing on art education for the young. In order to ensure our program is unique, fun and complete, we have started comprehensive ongoing research and design our own curriculum, methodologies and courseware. This is significant for us to provide a complete structured, systematic and creative program in order to nurture and develop artistry, creativity and knowledge of the children. As a result of our experience and research, we published a popular series of drawing books "Drawing-Is-Easy" for children and these books proven to be effective for children to learn art themselves.
- Our efforts have been generating encouraging results in the areas of development in creativity, artistry, wellness and knowledge for the students. Most of our students performed very well in their school projects and won several awards in school, nationwide and international Art competitions. They have given us great motivations to excel, expand and improve our program.

Our students can now take art lessons at anytime and anywhere via online. OnlineArtclass.com course is extension of our Art program and has been well received by students and parents with good result.
- To gear toward the new knowledge based economy, our Art courses have been empowered with knowledge such as science, geography, physics, astronomy, biology, nature, etc. With the use of encyclopedia and multimedia computer during the lesson, we have make learning of knowledge more interesting, fun and effective with visual art as communication tools.

Our unique Animation-is-Easy course will provide them the foundation of doing 2D and 3D animation from the creation, production, shooting, voice over, editing to final animated film or movie. They can produce their own animated movie such as cartoon, manga, comics, clay model, etc..

Students enjoy making it and will not feel it is too tedious and boring to do long hours in animation. In additional, with the use of animation, students can learn many other academic subjects with much more fun and effectiveness.
