Our Teaching Philosophy
Like playing a musical instrument or learning to dance ballet, one's ability to draw or paint is directly related to the instruction and time spent practicing. Orange Easel is committed to teaching artists to DO ART BETTER. Art isn't just something that we MAKE...Art is something we do. DO ART BETTER For preschoolers, BETTER is...anti-craft. It is anti-product and pro-process. BETTER means that our artists can explore art in the way that best serves them. Age-appropriate art for a preschooler is messy and silly. It's story-filled and sensory-rich. It is new and novel. It is irresistible. Their little minds CRAVE this freedom of exploration. It's open-ended questions and very few "no's." |
For older children, BETTER is...anti-example. It is anti-"everyone's looks the same." It's pro-creativity. It's pro-ideas. BETTER means that our artist are taught to spend time crafting their own ideas into complete compositions; and then are taught the skills and patience that they need to create their vision. BETTER is the promise of improvement through loving instruction and high-quality materials.
Our Space
Orange Easel is a 2500 sq ft commercial space that is comprised of two classrooms. One classroom is designed soley to meet the needs of preschools and toddler artists. In the bigger classroom, we can accommodate up to 20 artists in a class. We can work at either table or full, standing easels (orange ones, of course). The larger classroom is also equipped with a projector for teaching to a large group. A large outdoor patio space can be utilized as an outdoor classroom during nice Midwest weather (what's that? Like fourteen days out of the year?!). In addition to the classrooms, our studio has a comfortable lobby for parents to wait if they choose.
