Our Art Class Philosophy is to support lifelong learning in the Arts by;
Supporting intrinsic motivation and building on individual interests.
Creating opportunities for experimentation and expression that students may not necessarily have in the home or at school.
Our teachers focus on building foundational knowledge and experience by increasing exposure to materials, techniques and other resources.
We incorporate individualised projects, experiment based learning and opportunities for expression into our activities.
If you have a child who thinks outside the box, likes to work on their own creative projects, or shows some skill in the arts that you want nurtured, then this could be the class for them. Our classes are small so we can manage a range of projects, materials, interests and learning styles at the same time. Talk to us about any individual student needs or email us and we'll let you know if we can make it work.
