It's not just drawing, it's a happy place where everyone works together and moves to music, builds self confidence, helps your brain and body get stronger. About I am May Kids Art

I am May and I have been to be a digital designer for almost 20 years. I started teaching kids art part time on weekends in 2009, starting with just only 2 little 7 year olds. Over the years, I’ve taught kids from a wid

e age group and nationality, both local and expats kids. I’ve worked with kids with autism, rare disease, HIV kids and kids with special needs from mild to medium spectrum. Working with kids using art to me is my way of leaving my legacy for the next future generation, we gotta start somewhere and I believe nurturing them in art is an awesome way to start. The Happy Joy Joy Art Jam is art for intellectual, social and emotional child development. It’s super fun for kids and families. It's not just drawing; it's a happy place where everyone works together and moves to music. It makes you feel good inside and helps your brain and body get stronger. Kids get better at drawing and feel more confident. Plus, it's a cool way to make friends and talk with others.

What is The Happy Joy Joy Art Jam? It is Art for all.. Even if you are 1 or 92. We are after all, a child at heart. The inner child in us have always been there, at no matter what stage in life. Happy Joy Joy Art Jam brings out the child in us and reminds us of what it was like making art when we were kids. It's learning how not to overthink and be intuitive. Just do and embrace the process. It is the art of making. Something which is much needed nowadays.
Come follow us or join one of our art jams to find out how!

The art of making, take action, move, sway, bop simultaneously as you draw with both of your hands, changing directions on a continuous rhythm is an essential part in The Happy Joy Joy Art Jam concept of making art through play and music. It is process art , it is all about using almost every part of your hands, brain and ears to do numerous things all at once. It's basically multi tasking in a much more coordinated, orchestrated manner. We always start this process before proceeding to the larger canvas collaboration pieces. It's similar as to warming up before any kind of team sport match. Play, art , music. These are things which we need in today's society. It's something to bring out the inner child in all of us, be it at 5 or 95. Inspiring joy to others is just one reason why I am determine to grow it to a larger scale in the future, perhaps with a community of kids, teens, adults, young and old. Please do feel free to bug or kacau me if anyone finds this intriguingly fun. Have an awesome chilled weekend, everyone 🙂🤘❤

We had our first happy joy joy art jam for families at Tommy le Baker at the National Tennis Centre on Jalan Duta last weekend. It went tremendously awesome. Parents were happy and the kids had loads of fun. They learned to work together, how to paint intuitively and not think, just enjoy the act of making, break into dance moves and bringing joy to one another. Huge gratitude and shout out to Tommy and the team at TLB, the kids,moms and dads!

Play and art go together hand in hand like strawberries and cream or jam and scones or roti kosong and teh tarik.
When children play with art amongst their friends or new friends at an open area surrounded by nature or any urban surroundings with greenery, this increases better oxygen intake, improving social skills when they interact with their friends and making new friends helps them build their self confidence. When they draw, they are moving their limbs, squatting or just walking to draw at another spot because he or she wanted to talk to their friend drawing at another spot. Body movements encourages a whole new muscle workout, even if it's the tiniest action of standing up or lifting their arm to draw a huge shape.
Just being outside is a total plus on lazy, chill out Sunday evenings. It's a great way for not only the kids but parents and adults to socialize more often, in person, hang out, catch up, maybe join in the fun, perhaps.
I feel that it's really nice to create a sense of community amongst everyone in a neighbourhood, hence I'm hoping to build more chalk drawing art jam communities in and around nearby whereabouts in pj and damansara, possibly even in nearby KL areas, TTDI, MK or maybe even Bangsar.
How this actually started is a pretty random idea, few years ago I ran a random chalk drawing art jam with a friend of mine at the BU7 Community Park, the turn out was fantastic. It wasn't the first time my friend and the neighbourhood ran it but it was a first time with me.
Last Sunday, we ran another one. A long awaited one. It was amazing! Kids interacting with other kids of all ages from different background is important for a child to develop respect for one another and making new friends improves their social skills. We will be running more of it more often, possibly twice a month! If we are able to make it a regular occurrence, please do come by and join us or if there's empty concrete areas in your neighbourhood park, please feel free to drop me a dm and we'll see how we can start one in your neighbourhood park.

A little while back, just two weeks before CNY this year I had my first family art jam with Kaye-Leigh and her family. The prompt for the art jam was Flawah Flawah! Literally a whole field of flowers inspired by Herve Tullet's intuitive art pedagogy principle.
I will be running more of these family art jams at the National Tennis Center at Tommy Le Baker's cafe next month soon. Will keep you updated as I will be posting more of what' to come next month!
