My hobby: Art

Mummy Kaye just had her very first attempt on acrylic painting!!

Tadah!!! How How? Not bad right? I am so proud of my very first acrylic painting.

I went to Arteastiq @ Mandarin Gallery with my colleagues recently and I really enjoyed myself. The paintingis not like fantastic!!!! but I think it turned out pretty decent! :P

I have always enjoyed art. Be it cartoon, shading or or just simply just doodling. When I was in school, I often went to the library for picture books and copied the drawings . I took art as a way of express my feelings and a chance for me to relax my brain.

Some pages in my doodle book. (1997 - 2001)

I learnt Chinese painting when I was five years old but I did not pursue it as I enjoyed music even more. I took up military band as my extra curriculum activity during my primary school years and subsequently symphonic band in secondary school. I was so obsessed with it I totally neglected my studies. SERIOUSLY. (I was that crazy band major)

Drew this while I accompanied my grandma in the hospital during the last month of her life. (2000)

My Chinese paintings. (1989 & 1990)

How about Elric?

As I observe at Elric, he seems to be developing similar interest as I do. I wonder if it is genes or simply my daily influence. He enjoys singing and drawing.

While I don't want to be a Kiasu Singaporean mummy who send my son for all sorts of courses and lessons, I'll be interested to observe his interest and allow him to pick up one to two skills which will benefit him and help him grow. Be it art, sports, music or marshal arts, these activities build up certain discipline, patience and other values. 

If he does enjoy art and music, I will looking forward to painting and playing music together with him when he is slightly older. ^_^

Cheers,
Mummy Kaye
