I think lies are central to the way we live. I personally think that lies destroy us. For me, in Art, you either are a truth-seeker or you’re not. You either strive for what’s true, or you strive for something that gives you some temporary relief from the world’s pain. It’s as simple as that.

Art...yeah, what about it?
Is Art important?
Why do I need to study it?
What is its purpose?
Why should I care about it?
Well, these are some of the most valid and important questions students in schools are asking, and we've got the perfect individual to help your students out! Kelvin Tan conducts talks about art (music, fine arts, design..etc) and its connection to life for secondary school students. He welcomes every opportunity to share and educate the youth in the importance of questioning through conversations about Art, because the act of questioning is our very first step in making sense of our lives and the world we live in!
If you are a school teacher who feels that what Kelvin Tan has to share is important and educational for your students,

turned into Music."
"It inspired me to be creative, work hard and play hard. How everything is related to one another and it all evolved from something."
"It tell us that we can create many things, even if we had not learn it."
