VISION
Welcome to the 'Art of Being' School!
Inspired by the Ancient Greek teaching model of the Quadrivium, where ideas are explored through multiple disciplines, Art of Being is a unique holistic arts education that, much like the wholeness of holistic health, encompasses the full spectrum of human expression, and not just one aspect, such as technical ability. Facilitating an environment where people don’t just learn skills, but discover their own personal connection to creativity, healing and the spirit.
'Art of Being' is a philosophy, a mode of healing, and an invitation to live your truest, highest self. We very much look forward to creating with you soon!
PHILOSOPHY
Quadrivium, meaning 'place where four roads meet', is the Ancient Greek teaching model, educating learners in Number, Geometry, Music and Cosmology. It promotes the concept of the Polymath - one who is educated in multiple complimentary fields.
Art of Being is deeply inspired by this multi faceted mode of learning, unlike mainstream education which is compartmentalised into 'Art' 'Maths' 'History' etc. Topic based learning can lead to a deeper understanding of the subject, which is grounded in many different disciplines.
Like holistic health strives to heal the entire being, holistic art unifies the full spectrum of creative expression, studying multiple aspects of reality in order to promote art that is deeply rooted in philosophy, love and awareness.
​
A knowledge that we believe can lead to a greater connection and appreciation of oneself, one's spirit, and all aspects of this multiverse we reside in.

PLAYTIME
Hated art at school? Think you can't draw? Fear not! We will be studying these universal topics, such as Dreams, Geometry, Spirituality and Daoism, through meditating, yoga-ing, doodling, playing, praying, geometry, talking, listening, dancing, as well as traditional drawing techniques, and so much more! There is something for everyone; an opportunity to create through your individual learning style, whilst also experimenting with novel modes of exploration.
We definitely don't have all the answers.. but we do have a lot of the questions! And we believe that through play, prayer and an open heart, we can use art to explore these amazing subjects in our universe, and get one step closer to cracking the code alongside you all.
LOVE
EXPRESSION
FREEDOM
TRUTH
HEALING
We are the Art of Being. We believe in activating unique soul expression; facilitating an environment which brings forth each person's highest potential. Our Core Values are LOVE, EXPRESSION, FREEDOM, TRUTH and HEALING. These five tenants help guide everything we do, dissolving the student/ teacher boundary, and facilitating an environment where everyone is learning and transforming, striving for the highest possible good both individually, and as a collective.
Art is the way you speak, move, breathe, listen. There is an Art to everything. Being (existing) and being a 'human being' is an art, in that through expression, conversations and meditation we can become better at life, better at 'being'.
We believe that this philosophy can change the world, one incredible mind at a time.
We are the Art of Being.
