Mission / Principles / Aims
OUR MISSION IS TO:
​
-
Increase art access for school children by giving engaging and thoughtfully developed art sessions in schools.
-
Through access to art, inspire children to consider greater possibilities for themselves, their communities, societies, professions, country, the world.
-
Work with and strengthen inclination and abilities for learning, doing and joy.
-
Provide excitement around possibilities and creating (NOT detailed direction on how to paint or create);
-
Provide inspiration for having unique ideas and approaches.
​
WE ARE GUIDED BY A FEW PRINCIPLES:
​
-
To positively impact the development of thinking, the ability to capture a thought, recognize an idea in one’s head, and develop and portray it in artwork and then to express and convey that and present it to others and to believe in one’s ideas.
-
Art is important and good for the future. Art is what’s inside you that you put out there, from painting to the kind words you use on the playground and playing fields.
​
THROUGH ART ACCESS AND EXPOSURE, WE AIM TO:
​
-
Provide a positive experience students carry within that support their beliefs and efforts in any area.
-
Accept, encourage and inspire thinking and creativity and the combination of both in each child.
-
Support positive self-esteem, keeping it, growing it, accepting it.
