MCAA (Meraki Contemporary Art Academy) has been cultivating children’s creativity in Shanghai for over a decade, using its VAKED Five-Dimensional Art Education System to guide kids aged 4–9 through a structured journey in visual arts. Classes move from sensory exploration and early artistic language to imaginative creation, personal expression, and design skills, with each stage tailored to developmental needs. The program integrates aesthetic principles, interdisciplinary learning, and design thinking, encouraging children to experiment, problem-solve, and express ideas visually. Teachers have international art backgrounds, and student progress is tracked through a dedicated portfolio system, making it a hands-on, project-based approach to early art education.
