EXPERIENCE

GENERAL

The program helps enhance experiential knowledge and develop confidence in creativity and expression for students through various visual arts media such as drawing, painting, printing, crafts, mixed media, and 3D creation. The teaching methods and learning environment focus on fostering imagination, experimental thinking, and supporting the development of social-emotional skills alongside language abilities for students.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1. Familiarize students with practical art thinking groups such as exploration and experimentation, imagination, expression, artwork development, observation, evaluation, passion, and perseverance, while understanding the art world.
2. Create a safe and supportive environment for children to confidently use a variety of materials and tools for creation.
3. Develop expression skills and creative abilities from children’s original thoughts and ideas through visual language.
4. Enhance knowledge and the ability to apply elements (color, line, shape, space, and texture) and design principles (focusing on patterns and repetition).
5. Support the holistic development of children, emphasizing social-emotional skills and language abilities

METHOD

The lessons are designed based on the ‘Studio Thinking’ approach, focusing on developing artworks through a process of exploration and experimentation with materials and tools, stemming from the students’ original ideas. In addition to hands-on and experiential sessions, students also have opportunities to learn through direct interactions with artists, visit exhibitions, and showcase their own artworks outside the classroom.
