Enhancing visual learning and creating cultural awareness are two of the main objectives of Art Wednesday. Every month an artist is carefully selected, providing exposure to a variety of techniques and artistic movements. Moreover, connections to their cultural and historical backgrounds are established. The space provides the kids with information, activities and fun games aimed at developing critical thinking skills.

“Art is not what you see, but what you make other see”

Edgar Degas

Painting is one of the most natural things in children. It gives them the opportunity to manipulate different materials and objects in order to create different textures or techniques. This allows them to discover patterns, shapes, sizes and even hues of colors, which sparks their imaginations. The finished product reflects more than just a combination of strokes; it represents the endless possibilities of each child’s creativity. Every year, our mini artists demonstrate a wide range of styles and movements.

Frequent exposition to music accelerates the development of memory, literacy and math skills. The rhythm of music is formed by a series of intervals that immediately improve linguistic development, including second-language acquisition. “Concert Fridays” presents every week a different musician who performs live during twenty minutes. This provides the perfect space for the kids to get acquainted with a variety of musical instruments, genres and styles.

Es un proyecto de motivación al aprendizaje autónomo.

The exposure to music from foreign countries provides the opportunity for students to identify the differences and similarities between diverse cultures.  They learn about the location, national flag, language, traditions and lifestyles from countries around the world, creating in children empathy and respect towards others.  Moreover, it helps to form the future global citizens society needs.
