Academy Philosophy 

As one begins to develop the ability to see clearly what is there , one may connect with the vast and unique potential of creativity that leads to fine art expression. 

​

Understanding the use of materials and methodology follows closely one’s ability to see the world with heightened focus and enhanced clarity. 

 

As we see more clearly and confidently what is there before us, we also begin to believe in the potential to express this experience in a multitude of ways, including all the important little things , that are subtle and at times hidden, which at first we may not yet understand.

 

This is creative discovery, a most magical moment and process.

 

Skill development in fine art starts with developing this ability to see what is there , without preconceived ideas and symbolic preconception ( thank you to Micheal Britton). 

 

Creativity begins with an attitude of curiosity and experimentation, and must include the humility to be open to constant learning and growth. 

 

The ability to observe , investigate , analyze , interpret and express is the bubbling fountain that provides the energy for  creative flow. 

 

‘ the one thing I can say about my work with complete honesty and confidence is that I never hit a block , I am always productive , and only rarely frustrated or satisfied ‘

Seeing is not just a foundational skill for artists but anyone who wants to develop a clear understanding of their work and function with freedom and creativity
