Art and creative drawing has the power to enhance a child’s mental development, broaden the scope of imagination and exploration of hidden creative talent. Parents send their children for art lessons not because they want them to be artists one day, but to equip them for their soon to be field of endeavour. Positive learning experience in art develops imagination, promoting creativity and innovative thinking in a natural and man-made world. It also increases self-esteem, confidence in problem solving and logical sequence of developing ideas.
The dilemma that we face is that emphasis is placed on other subjects like languages, mathematics, and sciences – but not on art. Students nowadays cannot even draw a simple drawing or outline. Ironically almost all subjects taught in schools needs an illustration, an outline, a drawing, and a diagram. Students are just not mentally equipped to accomplish these art based demands.
How well one draws depends on how well one sees. Art training can tremendously help in the development of Visual Processing – the foundation of the human learning process. Our aim in Global Art is to unlock the hidden potential of being able to see and process visually, and then interpreting what was seen in an aesthetic work of art.
Our exhaustive and thoroughly researched syllabus aim to provide our students with formal art training comparable to any syllabus taught in art school. Students can learn the basics, from subject composition, perspective, colour harmony and contrast, to life drawing. Systematic and straightforward, this syllabus is designed to cater to the needs of all students with or without artistic talent.
