The goal of STC Arts Academy is to lay a solid foundation for students to enter art painting, environmental art design, animation design, architectural design, interior decoration and other majors in the future. In recent years, our students have actively participated in various provincial and municipal art competitions, and won many awards including the first prize in art competitions such as Calgary Sun; Calgary Cultural Center; Cadel Centre, etc., reflecting the solid basic skills and rich creative ability of our students.
The school’s philosophy is to take advantage of the cultural education of China and the West and cultivate multicultural art design talents needed in the new era. Our teaching is tailored to the individual needs of each student, with tiered guidance and classified teaching, ensuring that students at every level can achieve significant improvement through training.
Our teaching content is set in accordance with the systematic academic art education policy. Specifically, it is divided into: geometric form → still life → plaster faceted image → plaster portrait → real person portrait practice; teaching methods include sketching, copying and dictation, etc. For methodological training, courses include: sketching, watercolor, gouache, cartoon enlightenment, animation creation, oil painting, printmaking, hand-painted design, sculpture, etc. We use a rich curriculum to train the coordination of students’ hands, eyes, and brains, thereby forming a keen observation method and innovative expression methods, so that basic painting techniques and aesthetic concepts can be coordinated and unified.
