Philosophy

Our Philosophy. Our teaching style at this school is a Progressive style of teaching. The teachers do teach indeed, but learning and mastering art comes by doing and practicing. The teachers teach the monthly style and after the lesson is over the students will then creat their own peices of art that correspond with the current style that is being teached. In addition through out the month while doing the monthly style of art students will constantly practice the style in order to fully master and comprehend it with the teach help and guidence. The reason why we have seperate months for each style of art is because instead of having seperate semesters for different styles we focus on one style for one month. The style that will be focused upon may continue into the next month but not by much. Our goal is to not spend two months on one style. However if a style of art requires more time then more time will be added. Some examples of how our philosophy looks in class is if the monthly focus is on painting and while the lesson is being taught, the class will being studying a sertain painter. After the lesson in fully completed and after the students take the appropriate notes, the students will then make a painting based off of the current artist, then they will create their own painting while using the current style of painting.
