We are familiar with many pedagogical approaches, yet we do not confine ourselves to any single method. We believe that art is open-ended, every child is unique. The best teachers are not merely instructors, but those who can recognize a child’s individuality, connect with their inner world, and become their friends. Only in this way can children discover their true calling and grow in the most natural and effective way.


If our approaches have a name, it is: OE·EP: Open Expression Practice — a flexible pedagogy that adapts to every child and every situation.

1. Respecting the Child’s Nature

We place curiosity and interest first, always considering each child’s age, pace, and individuality.
OE·EP draws on DAP (Developmentally Appropriate Practice) to respect the true inner impulses of children at every stage of growth.

2. Open, Multidisciplinary Artistic Development

Art is not only drawing or crafts. It is a complete system of expression: material experiments, sensory play, emotional regulation, visual storytelling, sound creation.
Children freely combine media and forms, building confidence, creativity, and autonomy.

3. Valuing What AI Cannot Replace

OE·EP focuses on human dimensions that AI or AGI will never reproduce:

  • Intuition

  • Emotion

  • Non-verbal expression

These makes us unique and novel, relevant and useful.

  • Over the past two decades of practice, we have consistently observed that the earlier children begin learning, the greater their potential for growth. Those who start drawing with us at a young age consistently develop deeper skills and a stronger artistic voice.
  • What makes the difference is not rigid instruction, but an approach that blends inspirational guidance with personalized development. Every child is encouraged to explore their own perspective and to create art that reflects their individuality.

  • We dedicate ourselves to discovering each child’s unique strengths and personality, nurturing them through individualized training. By the time they reach around the age of 12, we integrate observations of their skills, temperament, and psychological traits to provide clear, data-informed recommendations that guide their further development.

我们熟悉多种教学法，但并不拘泥于任何单一模式。我们坚信，艺术形式和过程都是开放的，没有一定之规，而每一个孩子都是独一无二的。最好的老师，不只是知识的传递者，更是能够发现孩子特质、走进他们心灵、成为他们朋友的人。唯有如此，孩子才能找到属于自己的天职，并在最自然、最高效的状态下成长成为最好的自己。因此，如果一定要给我们的教学法起个名字，那应该是：开放式表达实践——一种能适应每个孩子、每种情况的教育方式。我们坚持小班教学，是为了最大限度做到因人而育，并秉持几条基本原则：

 

1. 尊重天性

我们把兴趣和好奇心放在首位，同时考虑每个孩子的年龄、节奏和个性。
OE·EP 借鉴美国 D.A.P.（发展适宜性实践）的研究成果，尊重孩子在成长每一阶段真实的内在冲动。

 

2. 开放观念

在我们看来，艺术不只是画画或手工这样的精致艺术，更是一个 整体的模态表达系统，包括：材料实验、感官、游戏、情绪调节、视觉叙事、声音创作等诸多因素。
在这里，我们鼓励孩子们自由组合材料和表达方式，从而增强他们的自信心、创造力和自主性。

 

3. 重视人工智能无法替代的部分

OE·EP 使用一切必要的方式，去滋养那些 AI 或 AGI 永远无法复制的人类特质：

  • 个性化表达

  • 直觉

  • 情感

  • 非语言和非知识类的多维表达

 

过去二十年的教学实践，研究分析艺术史中的人物成长史与社会文化和生活的关系，我们一次又一次验证了一个事实：

**孩子越早开始，与老师关系越好，成长后劲越大。**

年幼时就跟随我们学习绘画的孩子，无论天资如何，没有一个学不出来的，而且总能在技巧上走得更自然，在艺术表达上更具个人风格。

大约在12岁时，我们会结合孩子的技能表现、心理特点以及生理状态等确定性较强的因素，为家长提供清晰且有数据支撑的建议，协助他们走向更适合自己的艺术道路。
