Our
Belief
Creativity is changing our future, and Design is leading the innovation of the world. We believe students have enormous potential and creativity. We support students in their journey to find and discover their own creative thinking and ideas. We admire students’ individual identity and help them find a way to express art on their own.
First, we teach all of our students a variety of research methods of art and design. Research through idea sketchbooks and journals are very important in developing and expressing works of art and design. Researching and developing is the key foundation to do art and design works.
Second, we teach various methods on how to draw and express what students see. There are hundreds of drawing methods and ways to express their observation. Works are expressed based on a student’s own view and thinking.
Third, we are caring and seeking to know more about our students. Knowing a student's personality and identity is very important in finding a student's unique originality.
Students are expected to show a portfolio with their originality and creativity. They can know themselves more and find identity. Then, they can create and express ideas and develop them through research. We support all students with all our heart and abilities.
