WE DELIVER RESULTS TIME AND TIME AGAIN
Art means different things to people. To some, it’s a God-given talent, while for others; it’s a form of self-expression and a release from everyday life. To me, it’s not about how talented you are, but about how much passion you have - and I believe that everyone has the freedom to express themselves creatively.

I was astudent at the Shyamala School of Art from 2005-2007, where I enrolled just after my O Level examination and continued until I left for university. While I was one of the few students in class who joined ‘just for fun’ with no formal background in art and no plans of pursuing art for my A levels and beyond, I was surprised at how naturally at ease I felt in expressing my creativity and opinion in class. Being a teenager who was quite ‘allergic’ to formal, conventional forms of teaching and guidance, Aunty Shy’s candid humour, kindness, honesty and gentle guidance did just the trick in effectively managing an often boisterous class of 7-10 teenagers and ensuring that we were all

Like an Angel sent from God Aunty Shy came to me! I was in grade 14, with A/L's looming in 4 months. My school art teacher had retired and I had almost an entire syllabus to cover. Being family friends we bumped into aunty at church and before I knew it, she said "Putha come to me, I'll teach you".
There started our journey of 3 days a week 9.00am to almost always 9.00pm. This was when aunty shy was not teaching full time and had only the Thalawathugoda art school to run. To say that she was a dedicated teacher would not suffice. Not only did she teach, she fed me, clothed me and pretty much took me over as her own.

There are many institutions for kids to learn art but I’m proud that I selected Shyamala School of Art for my daughter. She started as the age of 3 and I have witnessed how they have taught my daughter to express herself and not just draw by copying. Freedom to express oneself in different mediums, focusing on the size of the space and the choice of using a variety of colors at such a young age is marvelous. I’m very excited that she is able to take part in an art exhibition as a junior artist. It has been an exciting journey for the kids, with opportunities to build sand castles, take part in different religious activities, celebrate national festivals, create amazing things out of recycled material and so much more.

When Yugi was about 5 years old she started to draw and match and blend the colors well. She coloured very neatly. Never a line coming out of the picture. I never saw her using eraser and all the lines were perfect. A much needed prayer was answered when one of my colleagues who was listening to my story about Yugi’s drawings very positively told me that Shyamala School of Art is the most ideal place for her. So immediately got in touch with Mrs.Shyamala Pinto Jayawardena and fixed a class for her.
When Yugi walked in to Art School unknowingly she passed through the gated to her future. At that time she was not decided as to how she should use her talents. She was instructed correctly and given the much needed confidence. With the correct guidance and the correct and the quiet and serene environment pared the path for her in born talents to blossom out.
