Christine Jacob-Sandejas with kids Paolo, Luis, Nina and Gabby

MANILA, Philippines — Christine Jacob-Sandejas and her children are now hooked with Global Art, a worldwide chain of art schools that prides itself with unique step-by-step art education syllabus. Global Art accepts students as young as four years old, teens and adults. Anyone can enroll anytime.

Global Art has branches at Ortigas Ave. San Juan, Serendra, Global City, Makati; Del Monte, Quezon City, Katipunan Ave., Alabang Town Center, Fun Ranch Tiendesitas; and even Davao City. For more information, find them at Facebook.

“It was an amazing find!” Christine said of the day she first tried Global Art. “At first I thought it is just your usual art classes that fill up spare time when school is off. Even just after a few classes, suddenly my kids’ creativity blossomed, they became more confident and it started to have positive effects in other parts of their lives.”

Christine’s eldest, Paolo, 11 years old, is already joining his school’s editorial cartoon contest while Gabby, 10, said: “Drawing is where I can express my feelings and thoughts and just have fun.”

Eight-year-old Nina and five-year-old Luis also love to draw.

To find something that her children love is a most welcome experience for a hands-on parent like Christine.
