Educational Philosophy
Art education is the key for all children to open the door of their life. Through long-term study and practice, children can gradually awaken and activate their perception of life, release their original desire for expression, and finally, express themselves through their works.
Zhang Xiaochang Art Studio offers year-round weekly art classes to all children and adults. Students may enroll at any time during the year after passing the entrance exam. Once enrolled, students may continue for as long as they like.
