WHITE SPACE ART STUDIO
DIGITAL ART
In this program, students explore the exciting world of digital illustration and moving image using Procreate on iPad.
Led by an professional artist, our curriculum goes far beyond basic software tutorials. We bridge the gap between technology and tradition, training students in foundational fine art techniques, anatomy, light, and composition.

While technical skill is essential, our true focus lies in nurturing individual creativity, personal expression, and visual aesthetics, empowering students to bring their unique visions to life.
ANIMATION
OUR STUDIO
White Space Art Studio is an independent, sunlit garden studio. The space is intentionally cozy and minimal, featuring gentle background music, simple green accents, and a shared work table where students create.
To ensure a premium learning experience, classes are strictly limited to a maximum of 4 students per group. With a 32-inch display screen for clear technical demonstrations on one side, and my personal workspace with traditional easels and paints on the other, students have the opportunity to develop their skills inside a genuine, professional creative environment.
Believing that art should be accessible to everyone, Chen Qian offers a welcoming and inclusive learning environment, delivering instruction fluently in English, Mandarin, and Shanghainese.
Current Working with Children Check (WWCC) held.
