Our Philosophy begins with a sound approach to understanding composition. By teaching students fundamental concepts and elements like balance, depth, variety, perspective, value line and unity, they will begin to understand the process and components that go towards creating a strong work of art.

Students learn the importance of creating a "center of interest" and how it relates to the other areas of their picture plane. How do we captivate and hold the viewer's attention by using contrast, while establishing unity throughout the composition?

Don't underestimate a child's ability to understand the fundamentals. These fundamental concepts are usually taught at a higher level of learning. We believe the sooner a student understands the basic fundamental concepts, the more prepared they will be to take one more challenging artistic ideas later in life, with greater execution and more satisfying results.

Along with understanding composition, our goal over time is for our students to begin to develop a style that will later distinguish himself or herself from other artist. The sooner a student begins the greater chance this will happen at an earlier age.
