The studio was founded by, Nalyne Lunati, a life long artist with a M.F.A. in painting, who is passionate about what she does. She enjoys passing the torch on to the next generation of artists, art historians, and art connoisseurs through her innovative teaching strategies that incorporate learning skills.
The studio art approach is very hands on as well as educational. Art projects and exercises when taught properly cultivate fine motor skills, visual thinking, creativity, patience, and logical reasoning skills. Once the foundations are covered after a year, students will have the skill set to be more experimental.
The instructor is there to share knowledge of technical, conceptual, and historical aspects of visual arts. Key concepts of visual arts like formalism, color theory, value scale, shading, sketching, contour lines, various painterly techniques are covered in each semester. However, the focus can shift from each semester.
Mrs. Lunati's approach to teaching art is never a cookie cutter one. Kids Love Art cirriculum do not use templates that guarantee a predicted result regardless of whether the students puts in an effort or not. Exploration and discovery on the part of the student is more likely to yield a truly beautiful and interesting result than a cookie cutter project. The value in the program is the well thought out curriculum and the sharp eye of an experienced teacher. No software art program or template style of teaching art can compete with real life experience of studying with a great artist.
Last but not least, a true artist is as a creative person who can make art with any material. Please do not be fixated with just "drawing." Come to the studio with an open mind to be academically train in fine arts. This involves a comprehensive art education which exposes the students to a wide variety of media, a similar approach to a first/second year college art curriculum.
