This spring, the Celebrating Art contest chose the top 25% artworks and Top Ten Winners from thousands of entries throughout the United States and Canada. Three students’ artworks from Sunshine Studio got published, Difei Li, Nicole Wang, and Joyce Wang. Difei Li’s artwork also won top ten in her category.

Celebrating Art holds three contests per year, in April, August, and December — and publishes the winning pieces of students from grades K-12 in a hardcover book. On their blog, top ten winners get featured.

Usually, many kids want to take drawing classes just for enthusiasm or fun and then they soon give it up easily because of the lack of interest. So how can Sunshine Studio catch the hearts of kids?

The teachers of the studio pay attention to each student during classes. When the kids make progress, the teacher would give a positive recognition and encouragement. If the students have a problem on drawing methods, the teachers will point them out immediately in order to avoid bad habits. Sometimes the student will need several reminders to get rid of his/her bad habit; and the teachers have the patience to mention it every time. At Sunshine Studio, all the students are encouraged, making progress and correcting mistakes, which make the students love drawing.

People get good results from confidence and working hard continuously. Sunshine Studio allows and encourages that behavior in its classes. The result is kids improving every time they take drawing classes and having a wonderful experience at the same time.

陽光畫室三學生作品入選北美著名畫冊

美國優秀學生作品畫冊「Celebrating Art」，也稱北美藝術慶典畫冊，近日評選出2015年春季冊作品以及當季的全美十佳（Top 10 winner），陽光畫室三位學生的作品入選，他們分別是Difei Li, Nicole Wang和Joyce Wang。 Difei Li的作品同時榮獲全美十佳(Top 10 winner)。

美國「Celebrating Art」，是一本專門收集並出版K-12年級優秀學生作品的畫冊，每年分春、夏、冬三季出版，每一季再從入選畫冊的作品中選出十佳，在北美享有廣泛贊譽。

陽光畫室近期佳績連連，學生們在幾個全國性繪畫比賽中均獲大獎，原因在哪裏呢？很多孩子學畫畫是一陣子的熱情和好玩，學不了多久就放棄了，很難堅持。陽光畫室又是怎麼做到讓孩子們樂意長期堅持到畫室學畫畫的呢？這裡也有方法。

畫室老師在教畫的過程中給予每一個孩子足夠的關注和指導，每一個步驟一旦孩子有了提高，老師都會給予肯定並鼓勵孩子，這需要用心發現孩子的優點。如果孩子方法出現問題，老師也會立即指出，不讓錯誤變成習慣，這需要老師的耐心，因為有些問題不是說一次孩子就記住了，孩子畢竟是孩子。畫室老師還常常帶著孩子回顧不同時間段的作品，讓孩子看到自己一點一滴的成長和進步。正是這種成長中不斷的被肯定、被鼓勵，在錯誤中修正，在肯定中達到更高要求，讓孩子們發自內心的喜歡到陽光畫室來畫畫。

好成績是長期堅持和努力的結果。有了畫室老師一次一次的訓練和精心呵護，以及家長們的長期堅持和付出，學習繪畫變成孩子們一次次追尋美好的體驗。
