Sally Stuudio Art School
• The aim of Sally Stuudio Art School is to develop student's independent, creative and critical thinking and manual and verbal capability of self-expression through the different means of contemporary art.
• We have developed and implemented progressive methods of teaching contemporary art. We have brought our experiences to other Estonian art teachers.
• The cornerstones of our art school are: the involvement of art professionals, integrating contemporary art, paying personal attention to every student's interests, the promotion of freedom and diversity of self-expression and the teaching of traditional and contemporary artistic skills.
