Specialist Art Program
The Specialist Art Program is a vibrant and engaging art journey that fosters holistic development through creative explorations. Children achieve remarkable learning and developmental outcomes as the program focuses on honing various skills, including cognitive abilities, hand-eye coordination, and spatial awareness. This fun-filled journey encompasses innovative experiences, such as The Elements of Art: Line, Form, Shape, Space and Texture, Colour theory, Weaving, and experimenting with Sensory activities like hands-on adventures with foam slime and snow to provide a multi-dimensional learning experience.
Furthermore, emphasis is placed on collaboration and teamwork, creating a space for socialisation and building connections among the young artists. Music and dancing are also seamlessly integrated, enhancing rhythm and spatial awareness. The program celebrates self-expression and discovery through various Open-Ended and Process Art activities, including Collage making, Colour mixing, and Painting with a variety of tools. Through this program, children not only learn artistic techniques and processes but also develop a lifelong appreciation for the arts, which in turn provides children with a future filled with imagination and creativity.
