Sally Stuudio Art School

• The aim of Sally Stuudio Art School is to develop student's independent, creative and critical thinking and manual and verbal capability of self-expression through the different means of contemporary art.

• We have developed and implemented progressive methods of teaching contemporary art. We have brought our experiences to other Estonian art teachers.

• The cornerstones of our art school are: the involvement of art professionals, integrating contemporary art, paying personal attention to every student's interests, the promotion of freedom and diversity of self-expression and the teaching of traditional and contemporary artistic skills.

Teaching contemporary art. Why?

• There is a gap between contemporary art and art education

• The aim of art education should be seen on two levels: future audience, future professionals

• Using contemporary art for intergrating art and other subjects

• Supports students' creative and critical thinking

• Supports self-expression and social skills

• Teachers and students are ready for changes
