School Profile
The Toronto School of Visual Arts was co founded by several artists and established in 2005. It is a non-traditional, large-scale professional art school that integrates new concepts, new visuals, and new creativity. Recruit students of different age groups and levels from 5 years old to adults. There are beginner classes starting from scratch in painting, which teach you to easily enter the door of painting. There are multi-level course arrangements such as junior painting, advanced classes, special coaching classes for art works in the college entrance examination, and adult painting training classes. We provide loyal support and teaching for them, creating an environment full of artistic atmosphere. Our school's characteristic is to combine solid basic painting training with the cultivation of creativity, quickly igniting your creativity., The professor's courses are lively and flexible. From the cultivation of aesthetic ability from shallow to deep, to the flexible and varied multi-level curriculum arrangement, students can improve their keen observation ability and visual thinking ability through active interest in painting, thereby enhancing their aesthetic consciousness, developing their individual potential, developing their wisdom, character, sensitivity, and creativity, and elevating their intelligence through aesthetic education. Our goal is to learn how to apply various expressive methods in the study of visual arts in creative orientation, demonstrating their increasing abilities in the use of materials, work, and technology. These fields include sketching, color, oil painting, printmaking, pottery, collage, paper sculpture, fiberboard, metal sheet, mixed media, etc. Enable students to explore materials more deeply in a limited state, enabling them to develop a preference for one or more styles or forms of visual art, thus enabling them to reflect. Appreciating and recognizing specialized skills or knowledge in other people's works, and being able to evaluate one's own level of ability.
The rise of Toronto School of Visual Arts relies on our deep love for art education and our enterprising spirit of continuous innovation. In the continuous competition and transcendence, people have a deeper understanding of the unique function of art education and a clearer awareness of the important role that early art education plays in improving and perfecting people's overall quality. Human talent is like a spark that can be extinguished or ignited. Teachers of visual arts pay special attention to cultivating students' observation, expression, imagination, and creativity. The systematic curriculum offered by visual arts schools has been proven to be effective through practice, resulting in active thinking, a willingness to create, outstanding hands-on and painting skills, and outstanding performance among students of the same age.
Educational philosophy
Our aim is to cultivate the mind, primarily through precise observation and rich imagination. By reading, drawing, and thinking, one can improve their artistic cultivation and enhance their personal willpower and character. We strive to create a relaxed and creative environment that combines solid foundational painting training with the cultivation of creativity. For us, the question of how students learn to draw has never lost its charm and appeal. Painting is a magical ability, a skill that can be learned, and a process of seeking knowledge. It is closely intertwined with vision, and painting ability mainly relies on the visual ability to view things like a painter. For example, you can see various patterns from the spilled "coffee stains", a method called the "da Vinci" pattern. For example, when you see people and objects in the world around you, imagine yourself painting them, and you will find that what you see has become different. Your vision is awakened, and the artist in your heart is awakened. This way of seeing things can make your life unbelievably rich. Firstly, in order to be fully focused, you need to use willpower to achieve visual and perceptual thinking patterns. Secondly, seeing things in different ways can ensure that you paint well. Many painters have said that the food they see when painting is different from before. And it is often mentioned that painting brings them into a changed ideology. In which different subjective states do painters express that their feelings are transferred, merged with their works, and able to grasp the interrelationships that they cannot normally grasp, the concept of time disappears, and language withdraws from consciousness. Artists feel very clear headed, but at the same time, they are also very relaxed and have no anxiety. I am experiencing a delightful and somewhat mysterious brain activity. Therefore, painting is a comprehensive or holistic skill that only requires a limited set of basic components, like other comprehensive skills such as reading, driving, skiing, and walking. Once you learn these components and integrate them, you can paint.
You don't need to constantly add additional basic skills, just through training, refining skills, and learning what these skills are used for, you can make progress. This discovery is exciting because it means that a person can learn to draw in a reasonable amount of time. Through painting, we learn to appreciate art, and through art, we learn to appreciate life. Our promise is to inspire students with our sincerity and hard work to discover the artistic talents that they already possess but are waiting to be released.
We are willing to ignite the light of art and open the window of culture with sincerity and simplicity.
