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)
Encourage active learning and concern of various local and global issues. The main purpose is to develop students' capacity to critically think and to widen their perspectives.
