Korean Fine Arts Education System
Designed for young artists ready to move beyond simple crafts. This course adapts the rigorous Korean Fine Arts Education System for elementary-aged students. We balance technical discipline (Perspective, Anatomy, Color Theory) with creative play (Monsters, Magic Textures, Action Painting).
The Goal: To build a 'Golden Foundation' where students learn to see, think, and create like professional artists—all while having the time of their lives.
