We believe that art requires a particular set of senses, ones that can be taught and learned.

Let us explain our unique approach to developing young artists:

The 5 Senses of Art:

1.       Sense of space (perspective)

2.       Sense of relation between different sizes (proportions)               

3.       Sense of balance in placement of objects on the art surface (composition)

4.       Sense of tools and means (texture/medium, color, spots, shapes, 3-D values)

5.       Sense of a great adventure (the power of imagination and the joy of creativity)

Put these 5 senses together, and you have a successful artist capable of telling his or her own story on paper in the most impressive and expressive way.

In our classes we aim to help young artists explore all of these techniques and concepts in a variety of projects that challenge and teach, so that under our guidance, everyone has a chance to uncover their artistic senses.
