Our studio activities

Offering a diverse and enriching environment, to a wide range of artistic influences, cultures, and techniques.

Figure Drawing

Engage in dynamic live figure drawing sessions featuring diverse models. Study the human form through nude, non-nude, and costume poses. Focus on understanding lighting techniques to enhance depth and realism in your drawings.

Present and critique

Students develop the skills to effectively present their artwork and articulate observations about others’ creations, fostering a deeper understanding of artistic styles and techniques. Ultimately, the course cultivates invaluable communication skills, a profound appreciation of art, and the confidence to share personal perspectives, a much-needed skill to succeed in the modern world.

Urban Sketching and Exploration

Bring your sketchbook and jump into the action, documenting authentic moments of people engaged in everyday activities. Develop an awareness of surroundings, considering backgrounds, architecture, and technical elements. Explore the versatility of mixing media to enhance your reportage drawings.

Mixed Media

Sharpen your skills in drawing and painting using traditional mediums such as pencils, charcoal, acrylics, watercolors, and pastels, exploring various techniques and styles. Explore exciting ways to create mixed media art by trying out different techniques like cutting and pasting, building with found objects, using wax, and transferring images. These methods will help you unleash your creativity and come up with new and inventive artworks.
International school

Access to an English environment.

While learning English in itself is helpful, we believe that being surrounded by English speakers using the language to engage in actual activities can have huge benefits and further nurture the student’s mind. 

If going to an international school is not a viable option, consider signing up for our lessons. While we don’t provide a language curriculum, we can offer a place for students to familiarize themselves with an  American freestyle approach to arts as opposed to the rigid and structured approach we often see in Japanese academies.

We will ask our students to speak up, share their ideas, and actively participate in discussions. Our goal is to not only create art but also to enhance presentation skills, sharpen their critical thinking, and be able to give constructive feedback or confident personal opinions.
