Monart Drawing Studio in Virginia to Open
In its
commitment to tap the creative ability of youth and adults Alternatives
is proud to present the MONART Drawing Studio.
Leading
educators recognize Monart as a way students can learn skills such
as:
•
Focus and concentration
• Decision making
• Problem solving
• Sequencing
• Eye-hand coordination.
The
Monart system of drawing shows how to perceive the visual world
in terms of five basic elements of shape. This method has achieved
phenomenal results among both children and adults, including those
with learning difficulties.
Learning
Objectives:
Participants will use the 5 basic elements of shape in a guided
drawing experience.
Participants will learn the essential components of a Monart Drawing
environment.
The Monart method of drawing allows the participants to discover
the creativity within themselves. Drawing is a teachable skill at
which everyone can be successful. The Monart system of drawing shows
how to perceive the visual world in terms of five basic elements
of shape. Just as a musician learns notes and scales in order to
play an instrument, Monart students learn the skills necessary to
translate their perceptions onto paper. Since 1979, Monart has been
taught around the world through Mona Brookes’ best-selling
books, through Monart Schools and through incorporation into many
school districts. In a noncompetitive, peaceful environment, students
learn that drawing is a teachable subject in which everyone can
be successful, that there is no right or wrong and there are no
mistakes in Art. Public school teachers who use the Monart method
in their classrooms report that reading and math levels rise, thus
closing the achievement gap. “If a student draws what they
are learning, they will learn it 8 times faster and retain it 8
times longer.”
Linda Hansen, Creativity Director at Alternatives Inc. has 30 years
experience in the filed of Creativity and Youth Development. She
has been trained by Mona Brookes and is the only licensed owner
in Virginia by the Monart International Institute.
