Program Initiation In order to enter this new program you must first attend an introductory one-day seminar. These seminars will be held throughout the U.S. and Canada. Or, you may take an in-home open book written test based solely on the information contained in the JansenArt Traditions Technical Guide. Program Timetable The program will commence in January 2005 and will be taught by the following teachers who helped develop the curriculum.
Among this group, these artists share over one century of traditional painting, teaching methods, and experience, which is reflected in this important educational endeavor. This comprehensive teaching program will provide the decorative art teacher with an in-depth continuous program for their students. This teaching program takes the student on an artistic journey from beginner through advanced. It is designed to educate the student in all technical facets of decorative painting and to bridge the gap from decorative painting to fine art. The student will acquire knowledge of color theory and painting styles, as well as gain the historical significance of decorative art and art principles. This joint effort was made to help standardize the decorative painting industry through education. The Heritage Artists, who were the co-authors of this 'International Educational Program', brought a unique flavor and expertise to this system, while standardizing the techniques and methods to be used for teaching with Traditions. These Heritage Artists will be traveling in the United States, Canada, and other locations around the world presenting 'Traditions Teacher' seminars. For more information about the Traditions International Educational Program, becoming a registered Traditions Teacher, or attending or hosting a Traditions Artist seminar, please contact Sue Pruett MDA For those of you from Australia, Japan, Europe and South America, we will be presenting these programs in your country this next year. Look to our company for information and dates soon. About the ProgramTraditions Artists are required to understand the basics of the Traditions paint line including the pigments and mediums used.

You may also find out more about the JansenArt™ Traditions Artist System at jansenarttraditions.com Traditions Education is for all Artists ~ which one are you?The Traditions Education program is presented as the 'Teacher Program’; it is also being used as a 'study' program. More students today are looking for this style of education. The program is designed to TEACH at all levels. The nature of this program is for personal artistic development as well as to provide a very strong teaching curriculum for teachers to teach others from. The program has been developed to build personal skills and to provide a strong painting foundation for the future decorative painter. One does not have to be a 'teacher' to take the program for personal development, however they have to be actively teaching in order register as a Traditions Teacher and in order to teach the program to others. The program offers a ‘win win’ style of education for all artists, both teachers and students alike. There are really several ways to gain the Traditions knowledge and to study and learn within the program itself. Here are just some of them. 1.) New Teachers who wish to advance their own painting knowledge as well as have a step by step syllabus to teach from will attend the 5-day Teacher seminar and take the program back to their shops and studios where they will teach it to their local students over an extended timeline. 2.) Experienced Teachers who wish to 'fill in the blanks' in some areas that they may have missed or forgotten along their development and painting careers. Many teachers may not have had the opportunity to study a variety of styles or techniques, and may realize that there are several ‘holes’ in their knowledge. 3.) Earnest Students who to seek a developmental program for personal study, they too can attend the 5 day Traditions Teacher seminar and work through the manual on their own, at their own pace. (These students may not have access to a shop or studio near by, or where they can attend classes on a regular basis. These students still wish to find a way to study and grow their painting skills) 4.) New as well as Experienced Students who wish to learn a very comprehensive program such as the Traditions Educational can attend weekly classes from a shop or studio who has a registered Traditions Teacher on staff who offers the program in weekly classes. If you are interested in this program ask your local shop to start offering one. Contact anyone of the Heritage Artists for more details about starting a program near you. http://www.jansenarttraditions.com/media/HeritageArtistsTeam.html 5.) Students who are potential teachers may be thinking of taking the next step to begin teaching will have at their fingertips an entire teaching program laid out before them, with no worries about 'what to teach' to their potential students. They will know they are providing the most well rounded program available to day. 6.) Veteran Students who do not have any desire to teach, may also wish to attend either the Traditions 5-day seminar or take the program offered as ongoing weekly classes from a shop or studio. They may do so in order to re-visit and re-learn techniques and theories they never learned correctly or have completely skipped. This is another way to fill in the 'missing links' in knowledge and painting experience. This Educational program is very comprehensive and it will provide unique benefits to each individual who attends the program because it addresses several important facets of all decorative painting needs. Each artist will reap his or her own unique rewards from this program! Please contact me for further information or if you have any questions. |

Our dream and vision for a standardized, comprehensive teaching program became a reality this August 2004. Seven decorative painting teachers from across the United States and Canada came to the JansenArt™ Studio in Pennsylvania, U.S. In a collaborative effort, this group of talented artists and teachers developed, designed, and wrote the long awaited 'Tradition's International Teaching Program'. This program is designed to be a developmental program for artists and teachers who want to advance their skills in painting.
