The two teachers balance each other in their different approaches. Ludmilla, trained in Russia, teaches according to classical principles of art. She is currently teaching the use of symmetry in drawing. As a music teacher she also encourages the children to find a connection between structures in visual art and musical composition. Tsipi, trained in Israel, adopts a more organic approach, allowing the knowledge of underlying artistic structure to be revealed in the process of the work itself.
Children work sometimes alone, sometimes in teams.
Two projects on which the children have worked in recent weeks have involved elements of teamwork. One is an environmental sculpture on which the older children are working. It is a large concrete dragon spreading across the hillside behind the school. At first, the children were skeptical that they could work with concrete and make something so large. But now, as the project develops, they are quite excited.
