Program Philosophy
Art Corps™ provides a comprehensive, developmental curriculum that teaches artistic fundamentals by bringing process-oriented, hands-on art experience to the classroom. This hands-on program allows every child to develop their artistic abilities in a positive way and develop a cumulative set of skills and experiences.
• We believe that everyone is an artist.
• Art gives children a unique opportunity to react to their environment.
• It also gives them a chance to develop individuality and self-esteem. Anyone can feel comfortable with art because there is no such thing as a mistake.
• There are no right or wrong answers.
There will be 35 unique results to an art lesson in a class of 35 children. Students are encouraged to experiment, to take chances, to explore and test new ideas. This gives them a sense of freedom that they do not always find in their daily curriculum. We believe that this same freedom and experimentation enhances their experience and success in other subjects. Children need opportunities to develop creatively and analytically in order to reach their full potential.
In a world that is technologically complex and structured, hands-on art gives children a unique opportunity to exercise their creative abilities in a fun noncompetitive atmosphere. Our goal is for each student—and volunteer— to feel good about their experience with art and to feel good about themselves.
