The guiding principle is simple yet profound: “If you can draw a dot, you can draw anything.” The academy encourages exploration of diverse art mediums, believing that each one offers a unique adventure. The journey begins with projects designed to immerse students in a world of colors, shapes, and textures, fostering a playful and exploratory approach to art.

The academy offers a variety of classes, including a portfolio class where students are guided to create their own masterpieces. These projects showcase their talents through unconventional mediums, from painting with Gochujang to sculpting with golf tees, reflecting a commitment to versatility and thoughtful exploration of themes. For those seeking creative freedom, the studio provides a space to work independently with preferred art supplies, free from the scrutiny of instructors.
