Why Inspire?
Expressing ourselves through the Arts while developing creativity and confidence.
CREATIVITY, CONFIDENCE AND EXPRESSION
Exploring and focusing on the process of art making
We are an art studio that frees students to create, allowing them to explore, and take ownership of their creations. We support and guide them through strategies and techniques whilst leaving creative decisions up to them. The work our kids create is their own, building a value of the process of art-making and a confidence in their ability as it grows and develops.
Even our youngest students learn that art is designed to communicate and express. We equip all of our students with the idea that they are saying something unique with everything that they make. This helps build communication skills , self identity, and an empathy and understanding of others.
