Sincerely, Dr. Sabrina Puppin-Lerch Director Dar Al Founoun TERM 1: January | February 2010 COURSES ................................................................................................................................................................... Our philosophy is to teach the basic rules - to demystify art - and to then motivate the artist to break those rules and thereby create their own unique style. We encourage the artists to develop their own creativity and imagination. In addition to bringing a broad scope of visual reference into the instruction we support ongoing dialogue with regards to techniques, artists, art history, and museum exhibits.
