Frequently Asked Questions
How are the lesson schedules?
Classes are scheduled once a week. All courses are conducted 7pm – 9.30pm on weeknights, for 7 sessions. There is a new intake every two months, so you do not have to wait long if you missed an intake.
What happens if I can't make it for one of the lessons?
Simply inform us and join our makeup session the following night if you can’t come. You can also choose to continue the remaining lessons with the next intake if you are experiencing a particularly busy work/personal schedule. This is good news if you are unable to commit to a regular weekly schedule.
How is the curriculum design?
The ARTEFAKTS mode of instruction is rigorous and comprehensive. Modules are based on pedagogically sound learning principles. Lessons are thoughtfully ‘scaffolded’ to ensure you are firmly grounded in the fundamentals before moving on to the next level, where you will get to apply concepts and techniques learnt from the previous lesson, and so on.
Do I need a sketchbook?
You are strongly encouraged to maintain a sketchbook journal throughout the course. The sketchbook not only allows you to practice your sketching/drawing/ painting freely without inhibition but also enables you to adopt a thoughtful, reflective approach to your learning journey. We will review your sketchbook regularly and offer appropriate guidance and feedback to help you improve. This reflective approach is one of the unique features of an ARTEFAKTS course. Finally, the sketchbook serves as concrete evidence of your artistic developmental process. Many students have expressed amazement at their progress when they eventually review their ‘before’ and ‘after’ drawings.
Does the course cover theory and technical skills?
We place considerable emphasis on developing sound theoretical knowledge and hands-on technical skills – both essential qualities for producing confident, professional-looking work. Throughout the course, we devote ourselves in explaining critical art theory and historical contexts as well as provide you with practical guidance on proper art techniques.
How will I benefit from this course?
At the end of the course, you will emerge with increased awareness of art fundamentals, as well as a greater sense of artistic confidence, fluidity and versatility.

Great Learning Experience
Jeffrey was a great, caring and skilled teacher who taught me a lot. He tailors the course pace according to your skill level and clarifies any doubts you have. He has great teaching material and the room has a great environment to imbue a sense of calmness to aid in putting you in a relaxed mood as you learn. He is also flexible with the timings to suit your schedule. Definitely enjoyed myself.

Challenging but Fun
Jeffrey’s classes gave me the know how and confidence to draw using a variety of styles and techniques. I learnt and practiced new ways of looking at objects and appreciating art. It was challenging but fun, and I finished with far more knowledge and practice than I expected.

Visible Skills Improvement
The Drawing Fundamentals class was extremely informative and engaging. I was really pleased to see how much my illustration skills had improved by the end of the class. It also gives you a very good conceptual understanding of how we perceive objects and how light interacts with objects when you are trying to depict them. The studio has a very peaceful atmosphere and was a great place to work in.

Easy to understand with lots of hands-on practice
Being my first time attending an abstract art class, I’ve learnt a lot of important fundamentals of art and techniques of abstraction that were also consistently reinforced with simple, easy to understand hands-on practices. The art studio is spacious and conducive and I thoroughly enjoyed painting and learning there. The classes were conducted personally by Jeff who is a friendly and patient educator. Overall, I would definitely recommend this class to anyone who is looking to learn the basics of art and abstraction!
