aims of the academy the revolutionary art school model
The 360 Art Academy is an institute that aims to shore up a lived universal sense of the world in the modern day artist who struggles to balance themselves in a contextual whirlpool. Upon boarding the Academy, the artist will train while he travels to all the destinations in the world that are adjacent to the experiential Art curriculum. This will give the students a tangible experience of the subject matter that would
otherwise be limited to the one dimentional confines of theoretical text books. The training model is one that focuses on fluidity in leu of the rigid institutional structures. This model is focused on inducing in the artist all the positive characteristics of water. The artist will be able to reflect the world, through their artistic voice, in an uncompromised way.

You are young. Angst breeds volcanoes of rage In the tangled death of ends in your veins You are the reflection of your own eyes Your mind wallows in a brooding ocean of thoughts and feelings. Your gaze, naked and untrained as it is, is well equipped To translate these eternal horizons into lines on a page That dance to a song that only you can hear but did not arrange. Until they make manifest your vision of glorious perception Carrying with them the imperfect palette of feelings you injected.

This is the acquired
RE F L E X OL OGY of our times And these are the times we live in.
We leave no gaps in our self creation And thus, we watch our expressions stall When the world is caving in The only thing left to propel you yonder Is the simple freedom you so crave.

Where the glare of the sky meets the sea, you will be. Away from your world. Around the world. It is fluidity. At sea, you can be whatever you wish to be.
