Dear Thaivisa Members,

I would be very grateful if you could give me the names of any art schools or businesses in Bangkok that have art activities that emphasize art skills rather than craft skills for children ages about 4 to 10.

Although art and crafts are related, I'm looking for information for a school or business teaching painting, drawing, and model building (sculpture) as compared to painting a plaster Mickey Mouse if you know what I mean.

Thank you very much. I feel our children don't get enough art. I would very much appreciate your replies.

I guess this is kind of an obscure question.

Thanks anyway, if anyone can find out anything please feel free to pm me at my Thaivisa account or post here.

Thank You

Wow. A thread of only me.

I found a little Art class on the 8th floor of the Emporium Suites. Mostly fun crafty type stuff. About B3,500 for ten hours of basic fun crafts. All materials included. Making frames with plasticine detail, eggshell mosaic pictures - stuff like that.

Anyway, I just wanted to add to the Thaivisa database for parents. If anyone has any other information, please feel free to post.

Cheers

There are places in Chiang Mai but I can't help you with Bangkok. Good luck.

Go to Seri Center, Srinakorin. On the 5th (or 6th?) floor is the Edutainment section. Towards the back there are a number of art class rooms. (also robotics, mathematics, martial arts, music, dancing)

Top floors of Esplanade have a bunch of Saturday / Sunday things to do, art is one of them.

Beside Rasami school www.rasami.ac.th but not associated with the school is a very nice art teacher who teaches kids on weekends etc.

Very nice man.

I gave the Rasami web site as I dont know the street and hope the school has a map

Chalit Art Gallery at 126/1 Ratchawithi Soi 2, Din Daeng (02-246-3171) do art classes for kids. Age 4-12, 10 sessions, B4,500.

Also check out Sukhumvit Soi 38. Very close to the BTS. Head down the soi, then bang on the corner where you take the first right, there is a very cool looking art school. I forget the name (I pass it every day ), but my neighbours send their kids there at weekends. I will ask temfor more info when I see them.

Good luck

Once again, Thaivisa to the rescue!

Thank you very, very much Thaivisa members.
