Our Purpose 

Every Child Deserves to SHINE

Why is Art so Important ?

We now know that for the brain to fully develop both sides of it, art facilitates a true balance. The only reason that people are not competent in the subject of art is because they have never been taught the basics of classical drawing and painting. This is a learned subject, just like mathematics or writing. There are fundamentals that can easily be taught that build ability and give artistic confidence to self.

A Brighter Future

In the 21st century, our children are exposed to digital images at very young ages. The extensive media they are exposed to is full of design and graphics. Art has become a complete language that our children are encountering every day. Children need to know more about the world than just what they can learn through text and numbers. Art education teaches students how to interpret, criticize, and use visual information. It opens doors into a future filled with art. We can make the world a more informed and more beautiful place, one artist at a time.
