Art Boot Camp Paintings @ Home (Updates)

Date: Apr 14, 2015

Here is the update of our kids painting hanging on the wall in our home.

1. Right side of the Entrance Area. You open the main door, you are greeted by some of the best drawings from both Jay & Kay.

2. Left side of the Entrance Area. Sometimes the kids do the same project. And if they can be pair up, it will goes to this wall. Quite amazing the pairing.

3. At the dining table wall.

4. Inside the kids play room, we hang these.

5. Some vertical paintings will be hang on the other wall inside the kids playroom.

6. With correct lighting, and from some angle, sitting there watching these paintings which is done by both Jay & Kay is an enjoyable thing to do.

7. The Kids bed room. They sleep in this room. We want to hang these early productions to remind them that they came a long way to produce nice art work hanging outside at the Dining table wall there.

8. The kids bedroom hangs their early work. When they just started to learn how to draw.

Here are the recap why we do this?

a. You spent quite some money $$$ on this enrichment class. So, sometimes, they really draw very nice paintings, so, do you want it to be only appeared on the painting/drawing pad? For us, we want ROI. Return of Investment. I don’t really care whether their drawings are nice or not nice, everything we will try to put it on the wall. If one wall is filled, then, we open another wall. Tell the kids if they don’t pay attention or draw nice nice, that ugly drawings will go into the toilet wall. Yes, you will need to spent more on buying the canvas, but after you do what we did, you and your kids really feel good! hahahaha

b. The kids will be happy. When they go to class, they have a sense of responsibility. They will try their best to produce nice work. They will listen to the teacher, they will use their imagination to draw nice nice. When their painting goes up the wall, they felt good, they felt pride. Their self-esteem will be increasing. They will always have the positive thinking and energy.

c. When I come back from work, and enter this house, all I see is my kids painting. Some really not that nice, but once every thing were put on the wall, it some how blends in. It looks great. And that create positive chi in your home. It is a nice and warm home, and that positive chi will make your whole family positive.

Kids Drawings...

Date: Mar 9, 2015

This is how much we value our kids paintings.

We placed it at the entrance.

If you remember my home network… I don’t even allow OpenNet to pull “Ugly” cable runs from the main entrance. HaHaHa

I continue to sent my kids to Art Boot Camp. There, they can spent an hour of half to draw whatever the teacher ask them to draw.

The draw the drawings for one purpose to have it hang on the wall.

These are the special additions. Both Jay and Kay drew the same thing. So, you can see the actually match some how.

You make your kids feel very good doing so.

Not every drawings are fantastic. But all these are our kids master piece.

Parents value their work.

So, that when they grow up, they learn how to value other people works.

Arts In The House

Date: Dec 1, 2014

This month, we opening up the FOURTH wall for hanging our children art works from Art Boot Camp.

This is a fun way to continue to encourage our two boys to keep producing amazing art works.

They enjoyed producing the art pieces.

And we enjoyed hanging them on the wall.

It makes them feel very proud.

Arts is good for children. It is a way to express themselves.

2014 Art Collections

Date: July 14, 2014

[Updated Photos]

These are the three painting walls at our place.

As you can see, this is the third wall, children playroom. And the wall has been populated. Need to find another wall to put their painting soon.

It all originated from their bedroom.

This is the second wall which is the living/dining table wall.

From the other direction. Don’t be afraid of putting up their art works. It will not mess up your house. hahaha. In fact, these walls has been the wall most of my guests will talk about. Kids feel very proud to have their painting having on the walls. So, may be the next thing we will do is to “keep” the old ones and only hang the one that truly deserve to be up there.

The choice of colours they used, and the choice of picture they drawn is up to them.

1. We hang all their paintings and drawings on our living room wall, their bed room wall as well as the play room wall. This is to tell them that their paintings are important to daddy and mommy. Therefore, every time, must do their best to produce the art pieces.

2. For those that is ugly, we will hang it on the toilet wall. So far, there is none.

3. From young, they learned to be creative.

4. They learned how to follow instructions. Or follow exactly what they teacher ask them to do.

5. They also learned how to follow their hearts. By not following the sample drawings. Use your own colours. Draw your own things.

6. Most importantly, they have fun in all the classes.

7. Make the kids sign for their work as a habit. This is to make them own their own work.

These are the art collections we have from January 2014 until July.
