Expression of Creativity
Making arts is what makes us human, or, at the very least, it inspires us to continue to become one in a world where inhumanities dominate headlines. With arts, one is allowed to become rightfully expressive. We express what our emotions tell us through various forms of art; such as painting, music, sculptures, poetry, dance or act and whatever that excites our innermost feelings.
Arts are not a luxury, but a right, as the saying goes. “They are as crucial to our well-being, to our very existence, as eating and breathing,” remarked Richard Attenborough once. The Astrophysicist, Neil Degrasse Tyson when asked to opine on the importance of art education, said that “We measure the success of a civilisation by how well they treat their creative people.”
Strategically located in the heart of Desa Sri Hartamas in Kuala Lumpur, Art & Bonding is an exemplary centre that doesn’t only offer a contemporary lifestyle experience, but is also dedicated to bringing people closer together through arts, hence the name.
A New Lifestyle Experience
Painting lessons and art activities at Art & Bonding are uniquely theirs, one that definitely goes beyond what narrative effect a completed drawing attempts to depict afterwards, nor colour palettes a painter chooses to paint a limpid blue sky.
It’s the time spent in so doing with one’s families and friends that counts. Paint to create memoriesStephy Lew, one of the founders of Art & Bonding
Any imaginable work of art would never be perfect. It stops being a work of art the minute they’re deemed to be perfect. It’s the process of creating one that matters here. True artists are the ones who give such process the respect it deserves, no matter what the outcome.
With such philosophy in mind, at Art & Bonding, everyone is welcomed. No painting skill or experience is needed to learn to paint a picture that’s worth a thousand words. Be there, and they’ll teach you how to paint one with style and grace at an affordable price. What’s important is, you have fun whilst doing it. With the right mindset, you’ll be surprised at what you’ll learn and what takes shape on the canvas afterwards.
Prepare to be amazed when you enter Art & Bonding. One sees beautiful paintings traversing the length of the interior walls of the centre, whose painters as I was informed afterwards, were all but first-time artists. Notwithstanding, they were really, really wonderful drawings. Stephy Lew couldn’t be prouder of her students and all the work that they’ve done.
Creating Memories & Bonding Time
At Art & Bonding, paintbrushes are your magic wand. With it you weave colourful experiences across the empty canvas lay open before you. Paint not a picture, but the memory of doing one. Paint to create memories. The curriculum at Art & Bonding is carefully segmented into two categories. The first one is for kids whereas the latter is for adults.
Class size for kids is purposely kept small. Not more than 10 students (below 5 y/o) for one instructor on average. Art lessons for children are carefully designed, one that seeks to inculcate in them skills with which to critically appreciate and appraise various forms of creativity in general and canvas painting in particular. At Art & Bonding, kids not only learn canvas painting but also benefit from it.
Academic journals and research continue to recommend the need for early art education amongst children. From a psychological, social and medical point of view, painting offers not only cognitive benefits but also physical as well as spiritual. Learning art helps to improve mental health, self-esteem, and Emotional Intelligence, among others.
Is the weather too hot for outdoor activities these days? Give Art & Bonding a try. Bring your children and together, each and every one of you learns to translate life into colours. What better way to spend some quality time and bond with your kids than to get connected through self-made, expressive series of artworks?
For adults, on the other hand, the class size can go between 10 to 15 person per session. The one that interests me above all others is a parents and children program. It’s a program that seeks to provide a meaningful bonding experience for the whole family whilst each learns to paint.
Art & Bonding also works together with full-time artists and guest art lecturers. Artists who are well-aware of the art industry, whose works have been exhibited through series of art exhibitions of world repute. One of whom was Kae Miin. With more than 7 years’ experience, Kae Miin is specialised in visual arts in early childhood education. A woman of special enthusiasm, Kae Miin’s artistry is such that she spoke every visual arts dialect like a native.

Be sure to stop by Art & Bonding the next time you’re in the area. Discover how you and your children can benefit from art classes. You’ll be surprised at what such activities can do to your children, for drawing or painting, is able to stimulate both the left and right brain hemispheres. “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” Pablo Picasso couldn’t be more utterly right when he said that.
