Objectives
| The Artventure Short Term Programme is designed to create an opportunity for students to learn and explore various art forms and art techniques. At the same time, it aims to help students build their cognitive skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking and concept development. Students will be encouraged to express their ideas, imaginations and creativity through sharing sessions in class (both formal and informal). Through this exposure and practices, we hope to enhance their self-awareness and self-confidence. |

| Develop and Enhance Cognitive and Communication Skills | Our art lessons help students build cognitive skills such as concept development, problem-solving, language, history, measurement, critical thinking, fine motor development and many other skills that can contribute to school success. In addition, students will be given a conducive environment to communicate their creative thoughts through their Artworks (to present and explain their artworks to their classmates and instructor). |
