Artilious Studio:
In this era of social media and relentless fast-paced lifestyles, finding moments of grounding and balance amidst the demands of a 9-5 job, raising children and pursuing academic studies can feel like an unreachable dream for most of us. However, nestled within a unique art studio lies an oasis that seamlessly integrates holistic values into its classes, offering a refreshing respite for the mind, body and soul.
On the gentle summer day of July 21, 2021, Artilious Studios joyfully opened its doors to the world, marking the beginning of a creative and transformative journey. Our journey began with a month full of summer activities for children aged 4-16 years old. Our classes integrate holistic values as holistic education and practices embrace the significance of nurturing one's community, engaging in meaningful activities, and developing personal beliefs to cultivate a profoundly enriching lifestyle.
Our 2021-2023 Summer Camp was an inspiring journey, where we guided children to embrace the joy of creation without self-judgment or criticism. Through laughter therapy, they discovered the abundance of laughter's healing power. Exploring various craft-making techniques, including mixed media art, pottery, sketching, acrylic paints, and watercolors, the young artists unleashed their creativity in a vibrant array of expressions.
As the warmth of summer gives way to the enchantment of autumn, we introduce our Art and Yoga Weekend Classes tailored for children aged 4-8 years. These transformative sessions guided young ones in gentle body movements, fostering an appreciation for the incredible abilities of their bodies and nurturing a positive body image. Encouraging exploration of spirituality, we invited them to harmonize their mind, body, and spirit, channeling this newfound connection to create art that resonates with their inner selves. We taught over 75 Children in our month-long yearly summer camps.
Taking the journey further, we proudly unveil our Fine Arts Program catered to ages 8 and above.
