A starting conversation for a call enquiry about Art Senze’s art programme always has a question mark in it. Art Senze’s approach to teaching can be considered unconventional and thus, we do spend more time explaining and answering parents’ or potential students’ queries. Often or not, a trial session is the best way to clear all these doubts.
We do not follow a monthly theme.
We do not follow a fixed curriculum.
So how do our students learn when there is not standard syllabus to follow through?
We observe, we communicate and we adjust.
We provide an individualised art programme for every student.
Yes, for every student, for every individual student who is unique in their own ways.
We have students of mixed ages in the same class.
Every student, from young children to senior, creates their own individual art projects during class.
Every student is creating a different piece of artwork with the use of different art mediums.
How is this possible?
We received this question countless times.
Yes, we made it possible.
Because we believe that every student has his or her own ideas.
That’s why we spend time to communicate with our students and encourage sharing during class.
Because every student has his or her individual set of art skill and techniques.
That’s why we adjust the difficulty level to suit their learning level yet providing enough challenge for improvement.
Because every student has the freedom to create what they love.
That’s why it is our responsibility as art teachers to guide students to be able to express their love through different forms of art.
We believe that it is important for our students to retain their creativity and equip them with the relevant art techniques to transform their ideas into artworks. When students lose their ideas and creativity, they will turn into artists who lose their individuality in their artworks. When students are not equipped with the relevant art techniques, they will lose their confidence to express their ideas freely through their artworks.
Art Senze – Individualised Art Programme
With Art Senze’s individualised art programme, we can cater to every student’s learning needs and standard. We help to protect our students’ individuality in their works as we help them to grow as an artist. By pacing our students comfortably on their art learning journey and adjusting their learning pace along the way, it allows our students to have a clear understanding and grasp of the various art techniques and slowly understand the various ways to express their ideas through their artworks independently.
The most rewarding part is when our young students can speak about the ideas in their artworks confidently with ease after completion; when our teenager students can see how they can fine tune their artistic expression as their art techniques have reached a level of maturity; when our adult or senior students no longer tell us that they are not talented and they know that now they can also create art. The beautiful self-discovery process through artworks is a huge part of this rewarding learning journey for our students.
A friend ever told us that it is tiring to teach the way we teach. Our answer? It is worth it and it will always be. 🙂
