The Vos Method

Art education is not just about teaching skills; it is about shaping perspectives, nurturing creativity, and preparing students to make meaningful contributions to society. Central to Voss method is trust. She emphasises the importance of students trusting her guidance and embracing the process by taking a plunge into a jam session. One plus one is bigger than two, she often says, meaning that each component must be a strong entity for the team to become a cohesive whole. By meticulously choosing her words, Vos offers feedback and advice not to put you down, but to lift you up. These are just a few of Ellens golden sayings featured in this publication, together with over 40 assignments she had constructed over the years. Developed in collaboration with Medina Resic, this book serves both as an archive and a guidea collage of resources for anyone dedicated to art education.
