Dasein mentors creativity
OVER the years of advocating individual distinction, Dasein Academy of Art has developed a unique set of teaching principles called edumentoring.
A quote by Enrich From, “People are born equal, but they are also born different”, has since become the academic hallmark of Dasein Academy of Art; whereby the craft of imagination is about training the creative minds of individual talents; for great artists bear the timeless imprint of identity in his or her masterpiece.
Driven by this ingenuity, Dasein believes that the education for art , design and media studies is more than just a mere skill or job marketoriented curriculum.
After all, it is through the path of creative thinking and aesthetic learning that one discovers the beauty of one’s existence; and that, is a fulfilment of a lifetime.
With that ideal in mind, Dasein Academy of Art was established in 1996 by a team of avid educators and professionals from art, design and media industry aspiring to revive the role of a future generation dedicated to the creative and cultural development for personal enrichment.
It has unique versatility in the way it does education that differs from any other colleges.
“Dasein Academy of Art has incorporated two key ingredients into its syllabus for developing young minds – teaching plus mentoring”
As the word suggested, Dasein Academy of Art has incorporated two key ingredients into its syllabus for developing young minds: teaching plus mentoring to provide a more personalised approach for each and every teaching learning relationship. After all, it is through the guidance in self-discovery that the hidden gem of self-value can be unearthed.
So, how does edu-mentoring work? Self-value starts from personal virtues.
Contrary to most massteaching institutions, Dasein Academy insists on small scale classes by limiting to 15-25 students per class.
