In the art classrooms, the walls to furniture are mainly white in colour. We want to create a white box atmosphere, a blank canvas to begin their artistic journey on, a white space for thoughts and to express inner emotions.

Students explore a variety of techniques here from 2-dimensional drawing to 3-dimensional fashion design.
