Philosophy:
Art is an integral part of our being , We relate to its stimuli from birth therefore it should be nurtured and encouraged at the earliest opportunity – it will benefit and enrich us throughout our lives.
Aims:
- Class sizes will be kept small (maximum 10 students for all age groups) this will ensure a more “hands on and individualistic” connection with the teacher.
- The emphasis for the younger or beginner students will be to initially cover the basic skills of colour , light , shape and texture.
- From there we will progress to explore the technicalities of perspective , proportion and colour theory.
- Students will explore “multi-media” approach – working with a variety of materials as they develop their individual skills.
- All students will be encouraged to hold exhibitions every semester
