YAS: where the future’s artists are

“Every child is an artist.” – Pablo Picasso

“I would advise young artists to paint as they can, as long as they can.” – Claude Monet

 

Your child ends each day with a clutter of pencils, crayons, colored papers, wet paint brushes, a roomful of drawings and an installation of toys. Each morning your angel hurries to tell you stories s/he makes up from last night’s dream or the last story book read. Upon checking your child’s school stuff you see the blank pages of each textbook filled with doodles, colors, figures and shapes.

No doubt about it. You gave birth to an artist. With this realization, we know that you are going to need an artist’s mind and hands to help your child develop his/her artistic potential.

The Young Artists’ Studio (YAS) is a venue for young artists to learn art production at an early age. YAS is managed by art practitioners with a vision to develop young artists who will contribute to the art community in the near future. YAS believes that art is a powerful tool to influence communities, improve lives, and transform the society.

Since the early years in art history, the ‘studio’ has been the primary venue for brewing young artists. In fact, most famous artists have apprenticed in the studios of the prime artists before them. ‘Studio work’ is one important tradition that any young artist should be accustomed with.

Who says you can’t paint?

It’s never too late to start learning art production. We at Young Artists’ Studio (YAS) believe that each individual has in-born creativity and artistic skill. All you have to do is fuel the artist in you through proper and person-specific programs.

 

We also believe that art is never a season trend. It is not an activity; it is life. Because of this YAS offers art programs all throughout the year so you’re sure that art teachers are always available to help you render your concepts easily and with proper techniques. Call us now to know the program that best suits you or your little ones.

Sight

“Seeing comes before words. The child looks and recognizes before it can speak.”

- John Berger, Ways of Seeing

In affairs of looking and seeing, at times debating on which of the two is key to understanding an image, what viewers see are images of the second instance. A painting for one is a recording of what its painter once looked at and was able to see; what comes to us has already been processed, contemplated upon and recreated.

As viewers, the story of an artwork’s composition, ensembles of colors and humble/sophisticated strokes – the narrative of the first instance, interests us especially when we have an affinity with its maker. We ask a number of questions to find out how this young artist we know is able to see the world the way his/her art shows.

In this exhibit, you’ll find a collection of images of scenes, objects and ideas drawn from everyday life. These images collectively expound how young artists see the everyday as a reference of their imagination and how each young artist decides on what s/he would like you to see. They also illustrate how ‘sight’ varies, that we may look at the same thing but see it differently.

Portraits, landscapes, still life paintings, drawings, photographs, soft sculptures and short films in this exhibit engage you to define each young artist’s sight.

Fashion Design for Kids and Teens (8-15)

This program’s objective is to teach the young artists the basic principles of fashion design combined with practical lessons on design drawing, patternmaking, dressmaking and accessorizing. Since most kids, especially young girls, wish to create outfits for their toys, Barbie dolls, and their friends, this program is most useful to develop their aesthetics and skills through their existing interest. The program includes designing and actual production of clothes for a total of 6 sessions this summer.
