Teaching Method

Outline:
Through a wide range of art activities, students will enrich their artistic experiences, develop a love of art, enhance their sensitivity, and develop their ability to express themselves creatively and appreciate art.
Style:
Although the focus is on expression, a minimum level of art history knowledge is necessary as general basic knowledge, and the ability to look at art history as a whole is useful for expression and appreciation.
Notice:
Express your thoughts and feelings based on your individuality through shapes, colors, materials, etc., regardless of whether you are good or bad at it. Create works that only you can express, works that are unique in the world. Use tools correctly, handle them carefully and clean them up, whether they are your own or loaned to you.
