Artistori Creative Mix Media Art programme Certificate in Artistic Flair — Certificate in Artistic Flair

Speaking from a perspective of a parent-teacher, Art is not just another school subject. Art creates events to show a child's natural ability with the process of making art and deciding what really is complete. Compare such an event with an adult taking on a job with the strong desire to fulfil ownership based on individual desires, principles and restrictions. Through the job, an adult takes on advice, learns new abilities and knowledge through colleagues and mentors, and eventually grow and overcome new challenges together with the company. The challenges we set in Artistori with our inquiry-based and emergent curriculum creates such events for every child.

从一位老师的角度，同时也是孩子的父亲，艺术不仅仅是一门学校的科目。通过艺术创造来展示孩子在艺术创作过程中的自然能力，并决定什么是真正意义上的完整。就像一个成年人，根据个人的愿望、原则来完成一份工作，通过工作，成年人接受建议，学习新的能力和知识，最终与公司共同成长和克服新的挑战。在意言社，我们设置的每一个美术项目，为孩子们创造了探究空间和在探究过程中出现紧急挑战问题如何解决问题做到了全面的学习。

A personal summary from the book "The Power of Habit" by Jack D. Hodge:

Ideas and thoughts determine behavior, behavior determines habit, habit determines character, and character determines destiny.

Jack D. Hodge 的《习惯的力量》一书中的个人总结：

“思想决定行为，行为决定习惯，习惯决定性格，性格决定命运。 “

As we impart new knowledge and skills Artistori artists, each individual receives it differently and we take this opportunity to share and communicate their differences together and holistically, new abilities, knowledge and topics are emerged. Children become more involved, knowing their artworks are unique and original to themselves, they own it and they want to improve their own work naturally, craving on "How can I improve?" and "What can be done?". This positive attitude is a character builder and becomes a good habit in a child's life on abilities such as problem-solving, creativity, self-learning, etc. This habit can eventually be reflected and applied onto their other academical subjects.

当我们向意言社艺术家传授新的知识和技能时，每个人都会以不同的方式接受它，我们借此机会一起分享和交流他们的差异，从整体上讲，新的能力、知识和主题就会出现。孩子们变得更加投入，当他们投入创作时，他们渴望“我该如何改进？”和“可以做什么？”。这种积极的态度是性格的塑造者，并成为孩子生活中解决问题、创造力、自学等能力的好习惯。这种习惯最终可以反映并应用于他们的其他学科。
