Welcome. The Nutsidea Studio was launched on Mar 24 2007. It is an initiative of Tien Yang, out of passion in art and a deep belief that Art is a fundamental building block in life for everyone. The appraoch is rather simple -- create a safe place for individuals to do art. A place of celebration and learning that will not pass unnecessary judgement that will hurt the participant/s. Parents, individuals, kids who are interested in enrolling in the initiative may register your interest with Tien Yang.

The basic belief and principle of Nutsidea Studio art.gif

synopsis:
To many of us, the judgement of whether we are 'artistic' or not has been cruelly imprinted in our mind since early childhood. Do you realize the impact of that on your child's holistic development as a human being? Do you know that it is theilliteracyin art of adults or teachers that failed to recognize the potentials and not knowing how to guide your kid that is the root of the problem? Do you know that doing art has nothing to do with becoming an artist/designer? This talk aims to clarify some of these myths and provide some guidance to concerned parents on how to allow art to grow in your kid/s. Parents who would like to seek consultation after the talk may bring along samples of their kid's doodles for discussion.

We had a fabulous workshop yesterday. 7 kids all did wonderful stuff and made good progress.
Take a look at what they did. Very intense focused drawing, learning and having fun!

Hear it from the parents:

You certainly have your ways handling children. My children, rebellious of anything prescribed for them, including going for your workshop initially, returned home admiring at their works of art for the rest of the weekend — thanks to your inspiration and encouragement. Great pedagogy!

You are really amazing. Both of my children continued their drawing on Saturday night. They talked and created stories, Yida tried to put everything into the drawing. They really enjoyed the moment. 你真的是功力深厚. Thanks a lot!!

Thanks for all your feedback. It is great to learn how the kids responded to the workshops. It motivates me in many ways as well. In fact the kids, under the right setting, motivate and learn from each other much more than any other conventional structure. I feel so privileged to be given the chance to work with everyone. :)

Welcome Yida!
You made good progress despite spending limited time here.
I am so happy to see you warmed up and released those expressive and sensitive lines towards the end of the session.
You rock!
