Vancouver School

The Vancouver School is a way of thinking about art education that emphasizes creativity, inquiry, and collaboration. It encourages students to explore ideas through multiple perspectives, combining elements of art, visual culture, and social issues. This approach promotes critical thinking and personal expression, fostering a deeper understanding of art's role in society. Rather than focusing solely on technical skills, the Vancouver School aims to develop informed, thoughtful artists who can interpret and respond to complex cultural contexts through their work. It’s widely used in contemporary art education to prepare students for diverse artistic practice.
