LEONARDO ART SCHOOL® is a place where a child/person is able to learn visual arts and creative thinking rather than other things. The main focus of the art school is on the cultural development of the person. Art enthusiasts make sure to select the best one according to their talent and choice.

The problem of modern education is that most comprehensive schools do not teach how to create something new, how to transform your talents into success in real life. That is why only 2% of the population are creative and successful. Therefore, we have founded a new modern art school with new methods of teaching and a new Programme for development of students’ Creative Intelligence.

Founded in 2000, Leonardo Art School (LAS) is global network of art schools for kids and teens aged 6-19 with real results of producing creative and successful artists. The LAS’s studio-based specialists, practice-led learning attract talented individuals with a shared passion and concern for visual culture from all over the world. Many graduates have chosen to work as teachers for LAS.

Hi! I am Olga Azarova, Leonardo’s founder and ideological inspirer of our global network of art schools for children and adults! I am glad to introduce you the world of modern art education!

LEONARDO ART SCHOOL helps students to discover their talents, to be filled with the happiness of creativity, to open up new opportunities. We teach not just drawing, we teach divergent thinking, which is the basis of creative intelligence. After all, the versatility of Leonardo da Vinci, creative products of Steve Jobs at Apple, and Elon Musk's space flights, and Nike advertising campaigns, and fashion shows of Gauthier and Dior, and Spielberg's masterpieces are all different forms of creativity! It is highly important to develop such powerful art skills from childhood!

We have invented our own Know-How in art education #LeonardoMethod as a unique way for developing divergent thinking.
We have invented five unique #LeonardoCourses. Now, there are 25 of them, but the first five areconsidered as #LeonardoArts standards and "style icons" for the development of global #LeonardoFranchise franchises.

Leonardo Art Schools are represented in the UK, Ireland, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Australia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkey, Georgia, Czech Republic, Moldova and have thousands of students who speak 12 different languages, but they all communicate with the help of art and creativity.

Personally I think, it is valuable to be a part of positive changes in education and one of the happy and beautiful world of creativity that we create together and call #LeonardoFamily!

We recommend that kids begin studying in Leonardo as early as possible from the age of 6-19, because the neuroplasticity of the brain at this age is on maximum and the training efficiency is 100%!
CHILD IN LEONARDO ART SCHOOL:

In addition to general professionalism (hard skills) and communication skills (soft skills), a PERSON of the 21st CENTURY must possess creativity (creative skills), as it is a new requirement for competencies to maximize the potential of each individual.

LEONARDO ART SCHOOL® teaches students not just to draw, but also to think creatively! The search for new ideas and unusual solutions is one of the manifestations of the continuous search for oneself, self-knowledge and personal development

THE MAIN DIFFERENCES OF LEONARDO ART SCHOOL® from classical art schools are as follows:

• LEONARDO teaches you how to create NEW;
• LEONARDO raises up not just artists, but creative people who are able to become outstanding designers, stylists, marketers, inventors, entrepreneurs, etc., carrying the gene of genius;
  
• LEONARDO school does not just teach to create pictures or illustrations, but teaches children to monetize their talent by creating goods and services based on their creativity;
  
• LEONARDO develops not just a “hand placement technique”, but develops divergent thinking, spatial vision, expanding the scope of the possible, which is clearly reflected in the formation of the personality and its self-realization;
  
• LEONARDO helps develop a large-scale complex view of human life ,form personal taste and opinion ;
  
• LEONARDO classes through individual work and the integration of music, graphics, painting, engineering, design, literature achieve a synergy of creativity.
  

The fact that students attend art classes on Saturdays and Sundays brings benefits to them, as their minds rest from work and study and can focus on fantasy and creativity.

In our studios, we create a pleasant friendly atmosphere that promotes the creation of "streaming creativity".
