WHAT ARE “ART FUNDAMENTALS”? 
​WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT? 

​
Art fundamentals are the ‘building blocks’ of visual art.  We cover these concepts and teach them to students in a way that they can grasp, enjoy and apply.  

  • Elements of design (line, shape, color, texture, form, movement)
  • Principles of design (harmony, contrast, rhythm, balance dominance, unity, organisational layout)
  • Technique and Process (drawing, painting, marbling, tall painting, brushwork, impasto, glazing, scraping, sponge, spattering, underdrawing, underpainting, wet-in-wet, wet-on-dry, drybrush, scumbling, wax resist, salt spatter, blown blots, backruns, masking, wash-off)
  • Art medium / materials (acrylic paint, tempera paint, markers, pen & ink, pencil, oil pastel, mixed media)
  • Art movement (art history, different genres)
WHAT DO WE WANT KIT101 ART STUDENTS TO DEVELOP?
​
  • Individuality and self-expression. "I can express myself."
  • Good visual communication skill (i.e. ability to convey an idea in art) + Foundational skills for drawing/art.  "I can execute what I imagine!"

IF MY CHILD IS ADVANCED, CAN HE MOVE UP TO A DIFFERENT CLASS?  

KIT101 Art activities are designed to be suitable for both beginners and advanced students and we adjust the activities within the class to suit the different skill levels.
​WHAT’S YOUR TEACHER-STUDENT RATIO?  

We like to work in small groups.  Normally, we have 1 teacher handling 3-6 students, depending on the class dynamics.  As the number of students in the class increases, we add a second or third teacher as we see fit.
DO YOU ACCEPT STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS?   
​
This will depend on whether the student can handle the trial session, his needs and the class dynamics.
DO YOU DO PRIVATE SESSIONS FOR GROUPS OR INDIVIDUALS?
