SCHOOL OF MUSIC AND ARTS
Bringing exceptional music, dance and art education
Art Classes for children ages 4 - Adults in our Mississauga Studio and Online
CP School of Music and Arts offering art classes based on Monart Method designed by Mona Brookes, the author of Drawing with Children.
This world-renown art program has been taught to tens of thousands of students and teachers in public, private schools and in Monart franchised schools.
This method involves training students to perceive an “alphabet” of sorts focused on five basic elements of shape families that combine to form all objects. By learning to view the world through these five elements and how to transcribe the information to paper, everyone, so-called “drawers” and “non-drawers” can learn to become artists in their own right and develop their own unique style of realistic interpretation.
Just as we are taught how to combine basic phonetic rules to read, musical notes to play an instrument, and dance steps to dance, this method teaches the individual to draw using the five basic Elements of Shape. Once students recognize these elements, they are guided as to how they might combine them on paper so that their drawings represent what they see. During our classes we explore a wide range of subject matter, media, and artistic techniques so that students may continually develop their skills at their own pace.
