At TCG, art and creativity serves a broader, longer-term goal than you might expect: our emphasis on creativity means our children are encouraged to fashion the building blocks not just of art, but of wider learning.  When children express themselves through art, they’re not just painting pretty pictures for the fridge, they’re sketching a possible road map for life.  This is why we do everything we can to encourage them and send them confidently on their way, accompanied by knowledge of the world’s great artists, thinkers, achievers…

Art activities not only offer an opportunity to express oneself and discover new methods, but they also open the door to acquiring knowledge and developing the ability to explore innovative relationships and pairings within our world.

Spontaneity and imagination play a huge role in a child's perception of art.  A child's own response is more important then the 'right answer' (even supposing there is a right answer!)

TCG art classes motivate children to learn new skills, enabling them to discover new means and techniques of achieving what they desire.

In having a varied response, the child will refine his/her own artistic eye and judgement.

The cultural references and examples we use are not there to be admired or to be a model; they are there to open up the mind and cultivate an emotional response, eventually working towards building a common culture.
