| Our mission is to share our interests and appreciation in art with our students, and to inspire and awaken students' artisitic passions. We believe in teaching our students individually rather than in groups so as to take into account personal abilities, skills and interests. We strictly keep our class size small to emphasize personal attention. Our goal is to further each student's artistry level and skill. Art is involved in every aspect of our lives. It is everywhere we look, in every part of our day. It is all around us, if we are just willing to look. Through learning in art, we hope you learn to appreciate not only art, but also our lives and creation! - Loren & Pat Chin, Art Teachers |
