The Art & Architecture section illustrates some of the students’ Art projects that were done in class, at home or online. Please visit the Styles & Techniques page to see all the fun projects we do there! The age range varies from 2+ to 14+ years old students. The duration of a lesson also varies depending on the age – for smaller kids 3+ years old it is mostly limited to 30-45 minutes, older kids 7+ are studying for an hour. Middle and high school kids can have up to an hour and a half class to get ready for school entry exams (this a a specific program that we have to train art oriented middle-high school students). Each age group has its own study plan which makes each lesson creative, interesting, and fun. We integrate the History of Art, Architecture and Design into every class plan to make it more visual and educational. Many of the lessons can be also integrated into the school program, such as Social Studies, Arts, Science to help kids to understand to basic concepts of each subject. We use different drawings techniques using water color, acrylic, soft pastel, oil paint, colored pencils, crayons, markers, ink, decoupage, rock painting and many others!
