Math

According to the National Association for the Education of Young Children, the math skills that students learn at a young age build a foundation for future learning endeavors and can be a good indicator of whether or not young people will be able to meet and overcome new challenges as they mature.

According to NAEYC, children show a natural interest in mathematics at a young age, and it’s important that parents and teachers take advantage of this critical time in a child’s education to build the foundation that will allow that interest and engagement to continue well into adulthood.

Learning math is different from learning other subjects. Students learn math by doing.

Elementary math is becoming increasingly important part of childhood education.

Science

Science has its cultural value. It has a literature of its own. The Scientific discoveries of Galileo, Newton, Faraday, Darwin, Pasteur, Kelvin, Bose, Armstrong and others are treasures of mankind. So, Science has won the first rank of humanistic studies.

Science is useful in that it remedies some of the defects of the ordinary school education. It is found to be the most valuable element in the education of those who show special aptitude. Science provides discipline of mind.

Importance of Learning Science in School

Many students wonder why they need to learn it so early in life. Others just fail to understand the importance of including it in the school years. Science offers the answers to various questions we ask out of curiosity, in our early years. For instance, how does it rain? How does our body function? and many more.

With the knowledge of science, you learn to think logically and solve a problem. It is this problem-solving skill, which is learnt in the early years that have enables a person to solve problems.

Why is learning Science difficult to some students?

Art Benefits

Lifelong benefits your child will gain from our painting or a drawing classes.

Our painting activities enhance children’s creativity, developing the right side brain encouraging outside box thinking by sharpening their mind through imagination and thinking.
Part of our activities children learn and practice free drawing or painting to express their inner thoughts and feelings. They reflect their emotions through drawing and break free from limitations. This activity helps children better communication over time.
The practice of reflecting thoughts on a paper helps children to learn clear thinking. Clear thinking facilitates children’s brain on systematization and critical thinking.
Another lifelong benefit of painting is emotional restoration. It can help releasing stress by disengagement from present and entering into the world of excitement.
Over time and after a good progress your child will realize about their capabilities which will improve their confidence and self steam.

Programs

In our art classes, students learn how to draw and paint like an artist. They learn and develop the ability to draw anything with complete certainty and control. These courses are perfect for the persons looking to improve their skills for the beginners.

We first work on improving drawing skills. At our center, students will have the opportunity to complete the lesson plan one if they are beginners or lesson plan two if they have some experience. Our lesson plans consist of multiple fun and creative activities that encourages students to think out of the box and create their masterpiece.

After improving their drawing skills, students will be introduced to different types of paints and techniques such as:

Colored pencils

While colored pencils were once considered to be primarily for kids, throughout the years they have been steadily gaining respect amongst artists, galleries, and collectors. Artists are exploring the creative potential of this art-making medium, while art collectors and enthusiasts are wondering at their output!

Ink-wash

Also known as literati painting, is an East Asian type of brush painting of Chinese origin that uses black ink. We teach students how to apply more or less pressure on their brushes to make darker or lighter strokes.

Acrylics

Acrylics are good for beginners. They are easy to work with because they’re thicker than watercolor paints. Because of its thickness, it is easy to blend with other colors and easy to control when painting on canvas. Acrylic dries quickly and turns into plastic.

Gouache-paint

Gouache is a type of paint that’s very similar to watercolor paint but also has characteristics of acrylic paint. What makes Gouache different rom watercolor paint is that it contains chalk to make it more opaque and reflective and thus is heavier paint. This type of paint comes in a large variety of colors and is therefore extra useful for poster art and comics.

Pastels (soft, hard, oil)

They come in 4 forms: hard pastels, soft pastels, pastel pencils, and oil pastels. They are held in the same way that you would hold a pencil. There are multiple techniques for pastels such as :

Drawing with the end of a pastel
Using the edge of a pastel
Hatching and cross hatching
Blending pastels
Scumbling pastels
Feathering with pastels
Dusting with pastels

Watercolor

Of all the painting processes, watercolor painting is known for its inherent delicacy and subtlety because watercolor art is all about thin washes and transparent color. There are multiple techniques to watercolor some of which are:

Wet-on- dry watercolor technique
Dry-on – dry watercolor technique
Dry-on-wet watercolor technique
Flat wash watercolor technique
Gradated wash watercolor technique
Variegated wash watercolor technique

Oil

Oils are the thickest paints and easiest to control. They however take days to dry. There is just something about oils that make that medium the king of all mediums. Oils can hold a great deal of pigment, which is why oil paintings can be richer in color than some of the other mediums.

At Sis Enrichment Center, we are ready to help you create your masterpiece and develop an appreciation for art.
