Studio for Teens

Proposal

The cross-disciplinar team task of Visual Arts

Studio is to help teenagers not only to create

practically but to be able to talk freely in a

context of visual language that has no borders

and barriers nowadays.

With the help of mutual creative process we

are looking for the variety of artistic identities

and peculiarity of every single student.

How does it work?

As an off-line project Visual Arts Studio

arranges entertainment workshops and

educational programmes for children focused

cultivation of culture of thinking and creative

process execution, building theirs first

portfolios, inspiring for good future in

creative proffesion.

Professional tutors, vizual artists, musicians,

performers, and designers are working

together with young students to make their

first experiences in art, design, performace,

and music.

As an online blog, Visual Arts Studio shares

the news and illustrates the creative process

by means of images and narration, engaging

young artists for their first gallery

performance. 1/10

Auditory

Visual Art Studio enrolls

students ages 6 through 13.

Classes contain up to 11

students with 3-4 cross-

disciplinar teachers (Design,

Visual Arts, Street Art,

Performance Art). All classes

consist of students of all ages

and abilities. Students are

interacting for the topic of

the lessons and guided

according to individual level

of experience and interest.

New students may join a class

at any time.

A

BaseElements (Cross-disciplinar Creative Program)

Rythm and Pattern

(repetition,

fragmentation)

Since Rythm, Repetition anf

Fragmentation are

represented in almost every

field of art, we couldn't help

dedicating the whole lesson to

pattern and meaning of the

artistic repeat.

This time we talked about

rhythm in art, saw and

discussed the role of most

famous design patterns from

all over the world. A photo

presentation helped our

students to become familiar

with rather important and

notable patterns coming from

fashion industry, find out

their meanings and long-lived

stories of their existence. The

practical part of our meeting

consisted of mastering the

technique of repeating figures

in drawing, creating tape art

composition and graffiti. All

that was pretty amazing and

we don't mind making

1

Marks, Signs, Types,

Trends

How important the first

impression is? Is it enough to

examine something for a

second and be able to

reproduce it later with the

help of art? How do signs and

little details talk and what

can they tell our eyes and our

consciousness?

During the lesson on marks,

signs and types we tried to

answer all these questions

and therefore explored the

varity styles and directions

coming from different

decades of XX century and

knew how to discern recent

from past by signs as actions

in performance art; we also

studied human faces and

tried to reconstruct our own

features while portraiting and

still not looking at each other.

We studied the variety of

visual styles exploring the

objects and discovered the

way of discerning the signs

coming forms, movememnts,

details, types, lettering basics

usability cues. We are

listening sound samples

practicing with it is creation.

Small and Huge

During the very lesson we

explored the way size, value

and form play role in creative

process.

Together with our students

we looked for tiny details

around us and learned how to

paint them on wide shits of

paper; we made models and

sketches and knew about the

term of supplemented

composition in art; had a

small talk about urban

subcultures and their mutual

interaction with the street.

And we definitely grew bigger

after these little hours spent

in a fine creative company!

Creativity and the Street or

Art and Invironmemnt.

Spinning around about the idea

of composition!

Together with tutor we are

learning how to work with the

space, creating objects connected

with invironment; introduction

for the international practicies

of contemporary art and talking

about the street as gellery.

The team of tutors (Design & Visual Arts, Street Art, Performance Art) inspires children to descover their personal passions, talents

and learning using educational best practices and developing basic cross-disciplinar course (5 lessons for 2 hours). Basic course for the

group up to 11 discovers children's artistic motivations, formulate and verbally express their art more accurately and in a contemporary

context. Each lesson in the studio team of tutors, kids and guests are learning one theme using different ways focusing on cross-

disciplinar approaches academically, socially, and emotionally.

our students are rised through experience,

encouragement and support of professionals.

Tutors are ready to share their experiences in

Artistic Processand MaterialTransformation byDasha SurI have over seven years of experience developing and teaching fun and engaging classes that inspire, encourage and boost kids to

use imagination and create, think and talk about objects to learn how to communicate through visual language and symbols.

The result is enriching educational, practical, and emotional learning that could be the bast way being professional artist, or

designer, or good mediator and collaborator. So I developed the program for group or individual learning that consists of

7 classes from basics of Visual Arts and Design to exhibition.

After the bacis course students can work in smaller groups with one of the tuturs chosing the course from disciplines to build

strong skillset (Design, Visual Arts or Performance Arts) and develop and select a strong portfolio. The key highlight is an

individual guidance in recognising artistic style that best suits for student's work, tutorials in finding the artistic vocabulary that

fits work process and good community.

Art Journeys

Our curriculum builds fascination and boosts

critical thinking through personal experience.

Art Journeys help us to engage child for the

contemporary art, show world famous

practicies, talk about it in museums, theatres

and galleries.

Our students answer the questions: "What is

the idea of their art experiences picture?",

"How is it connected with the world?".

Through inquiry, projects, discusion, core

skills work, and reflection, students connect

while they are learning to be creatives.
