Art Jamming

I am sure in this day and age, everyone has definitely heard of the term “Art Jamming”. The term “Art Jamming” is associated with people going to a nice little cafe hidden at an inconspicuous space somewhere in the most ulu place of Singapore. Some might even associate “Art Jamming” with hipsters who like to plug in their earphones while they paint the artwork they have chosen from some really unknown website.

Well, we are here to let you know that art jamming is for everyone! In fact, art jamming should be encouraged, whether you are doing it alone for fun or as a pair with your significant other or even with your team mates from work. There is absolutely no right and no wrong – just all fun and games! However, if you think that art jamming is just someone taking a canvas and painting it with colours after sketching (which is actually exactly what art jamming is), we are here to let you know there are so many different things you can do with your canvas to make the art jamming session so much more interesting! Stay with us till the end while we slowly reveal the different ideas that can make your artwork come alive!

Firstly, let us address some questions about art jamming!

1. “Art Jamming? But I can’t paint at all. I haven’t painted or even touched a brush since primary school…”
   That is why art jamming is so suitable for you because it’s an activity where you are suppose to have fun and relax with your friends and choose the painting you want to emulate. Forget the times when you were in primary school, stressing over the end results and grades of the art piece (and not to mention, having to get on your art teachers good side). Art jamming is an activity where you will not have to care about who appreciates your drawing. As long as you like it, you have successfully achieved the goal of art jamming
   
   
2. “Do I get to take back the art work?”
   Yes, of course the art work is yours to take back! Art Jamming is where you create something of your own and take back a masterpiece you can call your own. You can decorate your room with that or if you did the art jamming with your team mates, you can choose to frame the mural painting nicely and place it somewhere prominent for everyone to be reminded of the fun times.
3. “How long does such art jamming session lasts?”
   Normally, for group or individual art jamming sessions, you will take at least 2 to 2.5h to complete your own painting or a mural painting with your team mates. There is a need for art jamming sessions to have a cut off time (good times eventually come to an end) or you will see yourself being stuck in the studio for many hours, trying to perfect your drawing!
4. “Will my grandparents or kids be able to join art jamming sessions as well?”
   Of course they will be able to join the art jamming sessions! In fact, we encourage art jamming sessions among different ages. We cannot expect someone to fall in love with art if they are forced to join classes. Art Jamming is a good way to help your kids develop interest in art. It is also an enjoyable activity for the older ones. For all you know, art jamming session might become a regular family activity that everyone enjoys. You might even be surprised to find out that artistic talents run in your family!

Now that we have addressed some misconceptions and queries about art jamming sessions, it is time to reveal some of the most creative and refreshing ways you can go about doing art jamming sessions. If you think that art jamming sessions can only involve plain white canvases and paint brushes, you aren’t wrong but you aren’t exactly right either. Jump right ahead as we introduce to you some fabulous ideas that you can adopt for your next art jamming sessions!
