Cuckoo Arts mingles some elements of both multiple intelligence and general education into the art courses. Our goals are:

• explore and open up the children's hearts and mind, enhance their curiosity to discover and allow them to freely express themselves
• arouse the children's creative and imaginative mind, develop their art skills, problem-solving skills and build up their cooperative mind
• strengthen and sharpen the children's aesthetic ability and visual literacy
• widen the children's perspective and horizon to the world and learn to make critical judgement

The theory of multiple intelligences was developed in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner, a professor of education at Harvard University. These intelligences are:

1. Linguistic intelligence ("word smart")
2. Logical-mathematical intelligence("number/reasoning smart")
3. Musical intelligence ("music smart")
4. Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence ("body smart")
5. Interpersonal intelligence ("people smart")
6. Spatial intelligence ("picture smart")
7. Intrapersonal intelligence ("self smart")
8. Naturalist intelligence ("nature)
