    Tan Yan Kee Library Activities Bring Out Creative Artists of Different Ages

    3/7/2019

    Creativity in every individual is innate but to unleash and fully maximize each of our potential could lead to better growth and opportunities. At Tan Yan Kee Library, young and adult students alike participated in two activities that aimed to unlock and improve creativity and imagination.
    ​

    ​Bulletin Board Design Class


        On July 21 and 28, 2018, 20 students spent their two Saturdays for the Bulletin Board Design Class at the Tan Yan Kee Library in Binondo, Manila.
        The students aged 8-70 years old were brought together by their passion and interest in art even though some of them are students and teachers coming from various schools in Manila and Quezon City. Their schools are: St. Jude Catholic School, Chiang Kai Shek College, Hope Christian School, St. Stephen’s High School, Uno High School, San Lorenzo Academy, and Philippine Institute of Quezon City.
        Cut-out colored papers were shaped and pasted together to come up with various images of animals like owls, elephants, lions, bears, birds, penguins, spiders; trees and fruits such as strawberries, oranges, pineapples, watermelons, and cherries.
        It may seem like an easy thing to do but one needs an imaginative mind and patience to come up with designs that will form an image and incorporate their unique character. Through the guidance of Dr. Ulysses Yu, colorful illustrations flooded on both days they learned arts and crafts.
        The students enjoyed learning new things and at the same time earning new friends from different schools. In turn, the teacher felt that the students left an impression of excitement and anticipation.


    Chinese Ink Painting Class
        Fifteen Saturdays saw emerging and blooming talents in the hands of 15 students from August 18 to November 24, 2018 when they participated in Chinese Ink Painting Classes held at the Tan Yan Kee Library.
        The students learned step-by-step painting methods on various media. Aged 13-84 years old, they collectively explored their artistic talents and limitations as the tips of their brushes illustrate various painting subjects such as mountains, bodies of water, pine tree, crane, eagle, chicken, sparrow bird, peacock, and ancient Chinese woman.
        As a quick break from every painting session, the class had a Mid-Autumn Celebration where they played dice games on October 6, 2018 at the 16th floor of the San Fernando tower. This simple activity fostered stronger camaraderie as they become friends and not just mere participants of the activity.
        Dr. Ulysses Yu, the art teacher, commended the students as they displayed enthusiasm in learning Chinese Ink Painting techniques. The age of the participants did not hinder them from producing colorful and graphic images in various applications like hand fans, lamp shades, kites, and lanterns.
        The Foundation believes that activities such as this does not only keep one busy. Talent and skills can always be improved as long as one puts one’s heart and dedication in learning it.

      UE-TYKFI Scholarship Program

      The Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc. and the University of the East established the UE-TYKFI scholarship program in 1998 to provide free quality education to deserving UE undergraduate students and faculty members. Close to 1,000 students, including 12 faculty members and 60 grantees, have benefited from the program. 

      For the past 13 school years, TYKFI has spent no less than PhP68.1 million for the program, covering book allowance, uniform subsidy, transportation allowance and monthly stipend. On the other hand, UE has spent PhP98.7 million for tuition and other school fees. The scholarship is renewable every semester provided that the scholar meets the grade requirement and finishes his/her course within the prescribed period. 

      The scholarship program for regular faculty members covers a book allowance and monthly stipends (including study leave pay, tuition and other school fees) for two consecutive years for a master’s degree or four years for a doctorate degree. Both degrees may be pursued at the UE Graduate School, or in another university if the field of specialization is not offered in UE. 

      The undergraduate scholarships are in selected fields considered relevant to the needs of the Philippines for high-level manpower, namely Engineering and Computer Science/Information Technology, Mathematics and the Sciences, Accountancy and Dentistry, English and Communication Arts. 

      To qualify for a student scholarship, applicants must meet a set of criteria. For further details, please call 735- 5471 local 398, 399 or 735-8577 (UE Manila), 367-4787 or 367-4572 (UE Caloocan) or 816-5520 and -22 (TYKFI).
