Global Arts & Creative - Davao City, Philippines

Allow us to briefly introduce ourselves to your school. Global Art & Creative was founded in 1999 in Malaysia by Mr. Mahair Goh. As an art teacher, Mr. Goh has had the experience of teaching drawing and art to students from 4 years old and above. He realized that art and drawing lessons, although very much loved by children, have not received the attention that it deserves. Unlike other creativity lessons such as dancing or music, drawing lessons seldom (if at all) have any systematic curriculum nor possess goals for its students. Thus, the lessons were mainly based on the teachers, making it a teacher-oriented lesson. Students would just follow and copy what the teacher draws. Determined to make a difference and to make changes in art and drawing lesson. Mr. Goh started to conceptualise
