    • "My  child has been attending  Art classes in UniqArts for more than five years. In the lower primary level, he likes Knowledge  Art Class as it touched a variety of topics and hence broaden his common knowledge. As he progresses  throughout the years, he finds the skills and technique that  he learned in UniqArts really gave him a strong foundation in his  Secondary 1 Arts Class. Especially areas like pencil sketching and basic design. I feel that my son has been truly  benefited by the not-so-restricted and unpressurized teaching atmosphere in UniqArts. He always enjoys and looks forward  to attending his FineArts sessions during his school holiday. From his love of drawing and his ever- increasing personal pencil sketchings, it  is obvious that the time and money that  we spent here for his Art education is definitely worthwhile. From Mrs. Cheong."

    Drawing Books Testimonials:

    • "This book stresses the importance of the fundamentals in drawing, so it has everything you need to know in the first few pages - the correct way to hold the pencil, drawing basic shapes and lines, and alphabets writing.

From Ms Jenny Ong, Parent


    OnlineArtClass Testimonials:

    •  "Zachary has certainly improved leaps and bounds from a person who isn't confident in and hates drawing to a person who is willing to give it a shot especially in his area of passion ,drawing footballers and their many kicking positions. He finds your feedback an encouragement. Somebody who can encourage and give good positive suggestions and ideas without condemning his way of drawing and colouring. He does it mainly himself and only upon completing each piece of work, I give him some comments to improve." Mrs. Phang, Mother of Zachary Phang, 8 years old boy
    • "Rena has been doing art lessons by herself most of them time and with my help occasionally. She can follow the lessons well but sometimes, it is too fast and this is when I will help to control the screen. However, since the slower mode is available at OnlineArtclass, it is much better for her to follow now.Rena usually draws and colours the main item on one day and the background colouring on the next day. She like to try out the most recent or latest Art lessons when available. Overall, Rena has show good improvement attending OnlineArtClass. We find that onlineArtclass is very effective.." Mrs. Loh, Mother of Rena Loh,  7 years old girl
    • "Hi Mr Paul Lee, this is Rio's first art piece for your review.  I am Eunice his mother and would like to let you know that this is the first time Rio ever wanted to draw more than one thing in a piece of work, at the moment he is still struggling with holding the pencil in his handwriting and has a hate hate relationship with drawing, writing and colouring. This is his own work except for the 2 large leaves which I guided him somewhat. I am happy for this stress free alternative to classroom art as he is not pressured to do as well and not risk feeling lousy and  guilty for usually not being able to comlete a picture.. let alone add details and  colour. I look forward to your response... please be  honest instead of diplomatic as I will read your comments and suggestions to him. thanks again."Mrs. Silva, Mother of Rio de Silva, 5+ years old boy

It turned out that Theodore was able  to draw quite well by closely following your  picture, better than his cousin. I am impressed by your online program as I think the charges are reasonable and the portfolio of artwork is extensive and interesting." Mrs. Tong, Mother of a 4+ years old boy, Theodore Tong."
