Recent study has shown that students who participate in the arts perform better in other fields of study. It helps student to develop higher order skills (HOTS) and problem -solving ability. This integrated, project-oriented Fine Arts program includes work with different materials.
Children will study the great works of the certain style or historic period from art reproductions, find typical features of this style through observation, discussion and teacher's explanations, and try to create their own works using technique typical for that style according to their level of understanding and skills. Visits to the Metropolitan Museum of Art (NYC) will be organized and families will be encouraged to attend: we do not expect majority of our children to become professional artists, but we expect them ultimately to become civilized and creative adults.
Students who completed "Introduction to the Fine Arts", "Art Discoveries", or any similar program, and those who show strong inclination or unusual capacities in Art, are encouraged to take lessons with an acclaimed professional artist, member of dozens of international exhibits.
More than 70 of his former students were admitted into prestigious art schools and are currently working as artists, architects, animators, art directors and designers. Those who chose professions not related to art treasure these lessons through their adulthood as an experience that enriched their whole life.
