"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."

Wee (age 7), attends your Sunday Fine Arts class 3pm-4:15pm. She

and drawing is her favourite activity and at times she occupies her free
time scribbling things at home. I would like to commend the work of UniqArts
and give you this positive feedback that Natasha is learning some good
skills in drawing & painting from UniqArts. Thank you. From Mrs. Wee."

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.
Instructions are kept minimal but they do not, in any way, limit a child's
understanding of the subject" Review by Today's Parents Magazine, October
1998 issue
-
"My eldest
daughter Chermaine 10 years old, after 1 week of follow- the- book- drawing
during the school holiday ( she had completed 2 books within a week) ,
I was very pleased to see that she is able to draw most of drawings without
looking at the book when she was in church during the Christmas service
drawings all by herself. My second daughter Cherlene, 9 years,
is no good in drawing but by following the book, she is able to know
the proportion of the object and is improving. My youngest son Aaron
5 years, love to draw but limited in knowledge on drawings, had also
learned to draw more objects." 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
-
"I must say Theodore has improved
in the following areas :(i) his drawing ability by referring to a picture;
(ii) progress from using colour pencils to oil pastels. There was once
when his cousin of the same age came by and joined in to draw the woodpecker
with him. 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."
