Our Art Room firmly believes that drawing and painting are learned disciplines. Most students have the misconception that someone is either born with talent or not. This is not true. We believe that drawing should be instructed first by learning the fundamentals. It is just like learning how to play the piano, all you need to do is practice as much as possible.
Our Art Room takes a classical approach to teaching drawing and painting. What this means is that instruction will couple with practice, practice and practice. Students will be shown how to draw step-by-step, over and over, using different subject matter and different media. Through the step-by-step method, students are taught basic drawing and painting skills which result in art work that is realistic and attractive. Our students are taught on an individualized basis according to their personal abilities and skills, moving ahead at their own pace. Program are tailored to the ability, interest and needs of students. Each student will be designed with a personalized curriculum which will develop all aspects on the skills of fine art in drawing, design, painting, coloring, sketching, mix media and add on with creativity and knowledge subjects. This enables them to be given the artistic "tools" they need to create art for the rest of their lives.
Our Art Room demonstrates that anyone can learn to draw and paint. Students will learn the correct techniques to drawing shapes, figures, and many other different objects. They will also learn how to express their imagination and feelings with various materials. The student's eye will be trained to understand object's size and placement, and the student's hand will be trained to explore drawing and painting mediums such as color pencil, pen and ink, pastels, watercolors, acrylics, oils, graphite, charcoal and more.
Once students are proficient in their drawing skills, they progress into the exploration of painting mediums. Students receive extensive instruction in the use of each painting medium, including color-mixing, painting techniques, and the proper use and care of materials. Each painting project is also designed to present new drawing challenges. Every effort is made to offer the broadest range of technical experience in each medium, specific to each student's abilities and interests. Students learn to create still-life, landscapes, seascapes, figure, portraiture, animals, cartoons, patterns and more. Besides learning technical and artistic skills, students gain patience, focus, pride and confidence in their work.
Art is to be a joy! However, there should also be a learning process involved, learning the fundamentals and the academics. You will find our program both enjoyable and educational. |
