All About Your Child

No matter how busy I am, I MUST get this out before Chinese New Year is over!

Yes, my boys are back to their yearly ‘Lion Dance Chasing’. So long as the sound of the drums and cymbals are heard, they would shout, “Papa! Lion Dance! Lion Dance! Go see…Go see!!!”

They were lucky that their doting father is also one who appreciates Lion Dance. So even if he needs to change his course of direction, he would, which was exactly what happened after swimming lesson today.

However, sad to say, none of the Lion Dances they saw in year 2012 so far was comparable to how much this Lion Dance (below) had captured their hearts.

What can I say? The lions danced to my boys’ favourite song!

Guess, in time to come, all Lion Dances might evolve into such…..

My boys love art and crafts. The creative side of them is pretty prominent. However, with so much school work and school activities, I refused to give them more opportunities to explore that talented part of them.

I think the only time I did was when I sent Keatkeat to a short 1 hour one-to-one open workshop at an art shop when he was 5 years old and during the school holidays last December for the two days class.

After that class, Keatkeat said, “Mommy, I really like to draw. Can you send me to more drawing classes?”

Oh well, I am still SERIOUSLY considering….

Anyhow, I found out about this art school and I thought you might want to check it out too, if you are looking for an art school to send your child to. Here’s what ArtSense has to say:

ArtSense is an art school catered to children ages 3 -12. What makes
ArtSense different is the process of creating art.

Inspired by Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence Theory, our
programme addresses the Multiple Intelligence in children which
focuses on spatial, intrapersonal and interpersonal intelligence.

Art is beyond the drawing board, as such, our programmes focus mainly
on 3D Art which not only expands the child’s creativity and
imagination but also builds dexterity and motor functions.

Arts and Crafts is not just about creating something new; it is a
continuous process of re-creating things around us. Therefore, we use
mainly recyclable items as our craft materials. This urges the
children to use their imagination and at the same time educates the
children on respecting our environment.
