OSCAR’S ART

Much of Aguirre's work is based on his keen environmental awareness and his passion for conservation, which is reflected in his frequent use of recycled materials. In an especially memorable project - an installation that required 1000 bottles - he set out with a group of children to collect the bottles and, in doing so, cleaned several abandoned lots that had been scattered for years. This type of dynamic creative process governs their approach to art and the teaching of art.

Most arts education programs are limited to group instruction, but in the open study environment of ARTS, individual instruction and student tutoring, at all ages and skill levels, are provided in a multicultural environment , intergenerational and bilingual. And each member of the ARTES study is free to work at their own pace using a wide variety of materials and techniques. The lively cross-cultural exchanges, discoveries and nourishing interaction are part of the ARTES open study experience.
