Global Art Philippines hosts 2014 Global Art International Competition
Today, November 15, watch out for the new Picassos, Da Vincis and Michaleangelos as the Asia'a top art school grabs everyone's attention as they gather their best students around the region to compete on the annual Global Art International Competition.
Hosting this year's competition is its Philippines branch, who is celebrating its 5th year anniversary this month. Global Art is a company founded in Malaysia in 1999 by Mr. Mahair Goh, and has taught over 500,000 young artists’ minds and hearts in 15 countries including Malaysia, Singapore, India, Sri Lanka, Brunei, Indonesia, Thailand, Australia, Vietnam, China, USA, Cambodia, Myanmar, Hong Kong and the Philippines.
"Global Art is a unique breeding ground for children because they are taught not only how to copy a drawing but to create their own artwork, design and interpretation through different techniques," shared by Yenny Saw, Country Manager of Global Art Philippines.
Yenny and her husband Dexter founded Global Art Philippines in 2009 from a small place in Greenhills but have since opened 11 more branches in Metro Manila, Cebu and Davao City to accommodate the surge in the number of students and parents who want to experience their method of teaching.

In the Philippines, Global Art accepts students as young as 3 years old to adults and teaches them varying level of skills using diverse mediums like color pencils, oil pastel, poster color, acrylic paint, watercolor, glass paint, ink pens, and pencils. The multi-level programs allow each art enthusiast to learn at their own pace and use their own ideas to create an artwork.
"We provide our students with templates but we inspire them to do their own version and their own take on any pattern or blank sheets," Saw explains.
Global Art Philippines puts a premium on the quality of teachers they hire and the teaching methods they practice. "Our teachers undergo training both on art techniques and on how to effectively transfer knowledge to an aspiring young artist," Saw added.
