About This Course

Interested in picking up a new set of skills? Why not try out our Acrylic Painting Course! Acrylic Painting is an interesting medium that has many advantages, mainly known for being water-soluble and polymer based making it an easy medium to manipulate to create vibrant works. Unlike Oil Painting, acrylics are non-toxic and can be used without mixing with additional materials such as oil. Additionally, Acrylic Painting is fast-drying and multiple layers can be applied over multiple sessions. Our professional art instructors will guide you through your work using the same painting methods and techniques from both acrylic and oil painting to make up your very own beautiful artwork.

Come and try this medium out, experience the many pros of acrylic painting and find yourself a new hobby. Through the sessions (either 8 sessions, 12 sessions art immersion or 24 sessions art immersion), you will slowly grasp the many techniques needed for acrylic painting and also learn how this medium differs from others. We understand that different people will have different art experiences – some might have not held a paint brush since their schooling days while some might have had much experience. As such, our professional trained art instructors will cater to your different pace of learning to ensure everyone gets specific and personalised instructions and guidance that will benefit you the most. So don’t worry! Whether you are a beginner or someone who is looking for a refresher course, this is suitable for you!

丙烯画是采用丙烯颜料进行绘画。丙烯颜料是一种化学合成胶乳剂与颜色微粒混合而成的新型绘画颜料。丙烯颜料是水溶性的，干燥后具有耐水性。丙烯颜料色彩鲜艳、色泽鲜明、覆盖力强、干燥快。

丙烯画学习方法与油画类似，但由于丙烯颜料干燥快，因此作画程序要心中有数，才能笔触衔接自然，画面生动。

丙烯画课程

课程内容包括创意抽象丙烯画、静物写生、风景写生、创作等。适合初学者学习和各种水准提升。

Academy Drawing Traditions

The academy drawing and sketching tradition, rooted in centuries of artistic practice, emphasizes disciplined study of form, proportion, and technique. Originating from Renaissance workshops and formalized by institutions like the Royal Academy, it prioritizes meticulous observation and mastery of fundamental skills. Students progress from basic exercises to complex compositions, learning to depict still life and common objects with precision and expression. This tradition values both classical principles and innovation, encouraging artists to push boundaries while maintaining a deep respect for tradition. Through rigorous training and critique, artists within this tradition cultivate a strong foundation for creative exploration and artistic excellence.

Chinese Ink Painting and Calligraphy

This course on Chinese ink painting and calligraphy introduces young learners to the rich traditions of Chinese art. Through hands-on activities, students explore the basics of brush techniques, ink control, and the delicate art of Chinese script. They learn to appreciate the cultural significance of calligraphy and painting, developing skills in creating elegant strokes and expressive brushwork. The course fosters creativity, patience, and fine motor skills, while also providing insights into Chinese history and aesthetics. By the end, children gain confidence in their artistic abilities and a deeper understanding of Chinese cultural heritage.
