We try to connect art to life more ways to build it in the children’s personalities as determining factor.

Among our applied methods there are many local innovations, alternative ones. (Cooperative methods, differentiation, individual development, projects, social competence-improving programs). We continuously search for the most suitable means to widen the visual means of expression of our students with the maximal usage of educational possibilities.

We hand our tried and successful methods down to others in conferences, teacher trainings, meetings inland and abroad. Our books and methodological publications help to popularize our child-centred methods.
