My Community Project at MPSJ , Subang Jaya
Posted by Lakshmi
As part of my community service project, I have now started teaching Folk & Decorative Painting at Kompleks 3 ( Children's Creativity Centre) at Taman Bandar Sunway, PJS 11/2 on Saturday mornings. It's the big blue and red building alongside Sunway Pyramid. Classes start at 9am and finishes at 12 noon. I started at 9.00am and finished the class in the late late afternoon!
My first class was attended by a mix of the young and old, meaning school-going students and single parents, homemakers and a few of the council staff - a real ragtag bunch but a happy one. Everyone wanted to learn everything at the same time . Some were true beginners and were unaware of such art even existing. Some just came to while their time and some were so demanding that they expected me to finish the painting for them. Anyway, I did oblige as much as I could and stayed on until everyone left for home happily with their first painted project. There was much fun and laughter and also much more retouching to do. Actually, I practically repainted over their work as I wanted them to take home their first painted project to show off proudly to their family/friends. At the least, it will give them the confidence to continue painting when they receive compliments on their handiwork.
Since this is a community project which I initiated with the Subang Jaya Municipal Council, ( Majlis Perbandaran Subang Jaya or MPSJ) students/participants are provided with the paints, brushes and other materials needed. The only item the student/participant needs to bring is their own plaque or boards and hardcover A4 size practise sheets to practice their strokes. The first lesson costs only a mere RM$10.00.
So for those who are staying around town and are interested in Decorative Painting, this is your best chance to learn the basics. Opportunity knocks only once so make hay while the sun shines!
Classes will be conducted according to the response received , so please call up MPSJ at

See you at 3C Complex next Saturday
