ART
We are very excited to offer Art lessons as part of our curriculum. Art education helps a child
to develop creativity in all academic fields and have a better sense of self.

We concentrate on creating a fulfilling educational art experience for our students.
The lessons designed to introduce the students to the main materials and techniques
used in the process of creating art. The materials include watercolor, acrylic, clay
sculpture, collage, pencil drawing, and mixed media. These materials are used to
create portraits, landscapes, still lives, imaginative compositions, illustrations,
figurative compositions as well as abstract artwork. Students are also taught color
theory, importance of proportion in aesthetics, perspective, foreshortening, and
techniques, concepts, and styles are associated with specific artists’ work through
which students are familiarized with art history as well.
Every project starts by taking into consideration each individual student interests
and inspirations. Each art project is created according to student’s particular
interests and later the specific techniques and concepts are incorporated and applied.
This encourages our students to comprehend the knowledge easier. To make our
lessons more complete and educational we incorporate art history, aesthetics as well
as art critiques in our lessons. After every compiled project students are asked to
assess their own work progress and participate in a group critique where they offer
constrictive criticism using art specific vocabulary to help their classmates to
improve their work.
We take pride in offering our individual attention to nurture each child's unique
vision and tailor our lessons to meet every student’s needs. We believe that every
child has a precious story to tell and we feel honored to offer art as a tool for self-
expression and intellectual growth.
