Over
the past two years, Monkami ATSS has seen the
development of an exciting new Visual Arts Program.
The Art Program involves a wide range of experiences and
opportunities for all participants.
Participation,
self expression, communication and enjoyment are the main
aims of all programs. In addition, many artistic skills
are acquired and strengthened, eventually equipping
our artists with the ability to develop their own individual
styles which are easily recognised. They all bring a
unique perspective to their paintings and an individual
style.
