Our Story杨梅红故事
杨梅红艺术教育的诞生，缘起于一个爱和梦想的故事。
多年以前，一位年轻的艺术家父亲想为4岁的女儿寻找一个学画画的地方，他跑遍了大大小小的美术培训机构，也拜访了多个传闻中的“名师”，但结果让他有些失望。
当时，美术培训机构基本都是个人小作坊，大多还沿用着固化的教学模式，没有系统全面的艺术教育理论、方法论和课程体系，老师大都依据个人的专科经验教授自己熟悉的美术科目，注重技巧和考级，而不太在意孩子的个性保护、创意思维和审美能力的培养。当时的现状让这位父亲十分担忧，因为他深知早期艺术教育对孩子的成长有多么重要。
于是，这位艺术家父亲萌发了一个想法——创建一所有规模的、多元文化的、观念开放的、注重创意思维和审美素养的早期艺术教育机构，为了自己的孩子，也为了更多喜欢画画的孩子们。就这样，2005年，第一间“杨梅红少儿美术教育基地”在中国深圳诞生了！
这位父亲提出了“用艺术启迪智慧”的教育理念和理论体系，拓宽了老师们对美术教育的理解。同时，他把“给孩子一个智慧而有品位的人生”确定为杨梅红的教育目标。在后来的日子里，许多怀着共同理想的优秀老师不断地加入了这个充满情怀的集体。
经过多年的发展和沉淀，杨梅红已成长为成熟的早期艺术教育品牌。现旗下拥有杨梅红艺术教育中心（连锁）、杨梅红艺术教育研究院、杨梅红线上画院等多个分支机构。课程研发中心设于深圳，机构和教学中心分布在北京、上海、深圳等地区。
目前，每年有许多孩子选择在杨梅红学习，年龄涵盖2-18岁。多年来，一些希望未来从事艺术相关职业的学生陆续升入国内外各大艺术院校进一步学习深造，从而走上了艺术职业之路；更多的学生在长大后虽然没有从事艺术相关的工作，但在不同的领域也有着较高的创意能力和审美水平。
当年那位年轻的父亲，正是今天杨梅红艺术教育集团的创始人摩希先生。他从只为给女儿寻找一个可以自由发挥的创作空间，把孩子培养成优秀的社会人，到把“给孩子一个智慧而有品位的人生”确定为杨梅红的教育目标；从提出杨梅红艺术教育理论、方法论、课程体系，到将美学思想、原创精神、高科技与现代企业管理有机地结合在一起，才让今天的“杨梅红”成为了值得信赖的早期艺术教育品牌，也让更多的孩子从中受益。
杨梅，是一种中国南方特有的、高大的被子植物，每年春天会一夜开花，夏天来临的时候，深红的杨梅果就会挂满枝头，远看，红色的点子布满天边。“杨梅红”，寓意着未来热爱艺术的孩子们就像茂盛的杨梅树果实一样，红遍山野大地……
YMM Art Education was born from a story of love and a dream.
Many years ago, a young artist father set out to find a place where his four-year-old daughter could learn to draw. He visited art schools large and small and met several reputed “master teachers,” but came away disappointed.
At the time, most art studios were small one-person workshops still using rigid teaching methods. They had no systematic theory, methodology or curriculum; teachers mostly taught the subjects they knew from their own training, focusing on technique and grading exams, with little attention to protecting a child's individuality or developing creative thinking and aesthetic sense. This worried the father deeply, because he knew how much early art education matters to a child's growth.
So he had an idea: to build an early art-education school of real scale — multicultural, open-minded, and focused on creative thinking and aesthetic literacy — for his own child and for the many other children who love to draw. And so, in 2005, the first “YMM Children's Art Education Base” opened in Shenzhen, China.
He put forward the philosophy and theory of “To Enlighten Wisdom by Art,” broadening teachers' understanding of art education, and set “a wise and tasteful life for every child” as YMM's educational goal. In the years that followed, many outstanding teachers who shared these ideals joined this passionate community.
After years of growth, YMM has become a mature early art-education brand. It now includes the YMM Art Education Centres (a chain of schools), the YMM Art Education Research Institute, the YMM Online Art Academy and other branches. Its curriculum research centre is in Shenzhen, with schools and teaching centres in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and other cities.
Today, many children aged 2 to 18 choose to study at YMM every year. Over the years, students hoping for art-related careers have gone on to leading art schools in China and abroad; many more did not work in the arts as adults, yet show strong creativity and aesthetic sensibility in their own fields.
That young father is Mr. Moxi, founder of YMM Art Education Group. From simply looking for a place where his daughter could create freely and grow into an outstanding member of society, to making “a wise and tasteful life for every child” YMM's goal; from developing YMM's theory, methodology and curriculum, to bringing together aesthetic thinking, original spirit, technology and modern management — he built YMM into the trusted early art-education brand it is today, benefiting more and more children.
The yangmei (Chinese bayberry) is a tall flowering tree native to southern China. It blossoms overnight each spring, and when summer comes its branches hang heavy with deep-red fruit — from afar, red dots fill the horizon. “Yangmei Hong” (bayberry red) expresses the hope that children who love art will flourish like the fruit of a thriving bayberry tree, turning the hills and fields red…
