AAO Distance Learning...
We like to think of ourselves as innovative yet mindful of tradition. The artists and instructors of the AAO practice and study art in a vibrant community of learning and sharing. We believe that animated online teaching and learning are fostered in a working environment of respect. We value this form of accessible and public education. Intellectual curiosity and artistic passion are part of this culture of our online campus.
The Art Education Program at the AAO (Art Apprentice Online Art School) will prepare art students to become independent artists. The program is designed to stimulates creative thinking. The program will educate students toward becoming reflective students of art who can encourage their peers and others to create artworks in response to life's experiences.
The AAO art campus has become a collaborative space for teachers, students and art education.
"Art is not freedom from discipline, but disciplined freedom." Rev.Edward M. Catich
"The source of genius is imagination alone, the refinement of the senses that sees what others do not see, or sees them differently."
Eugène Delacroix
