Central to it’s ethos and integrated into all classes is its curriculum known as Art-with-a-Map. This unique program of art education, systematically unfolds the painting and drawing process across all classes.

Central  to Art-with a Map are a series of art maps, that define the curriculum’s elements  and provide the instructional framework to initiate, develop and grow all student’s abilities – not only at a pace that is compatible to their learning stages but also provides a thorough and long lasting platform to endlessly serve their own art journey.

All classes use drawing mediums, acrylic and water based paints, pencils, markers, digital drawing pads and large range of equipment and supporting media. These are supplied and included in the fees for use by all students in the studio. Students may simply turn up at studioMAP and commence working and enjoy their artmaking _ and its Fun!
