Noveli Art Space embraces an understanding that respects the learning desires, curiosities, skills and individual differences of all individuals, especially children, in accordance with their interests and needs. For Noveli Art Space, art is not something learned from specific tutorials at certain times; on the contrary, art spreads to a process that is discovered in every moment and area of life and gives pleasure. Every time spent at Noveli Art Space is open to learning, asking questions, observing and researching.
