Do you need resources for your students that help them travel back and forth from their creative to cognitive minds?

 

Today decorative painting is still thriving on many levels. Patterns, textures and ornamentation are still being applied to both traditional and contemporary homes and commercial architecture.


Decorative art in painted form is the study of human history, sciences, art, design, business and more. If this excites you, we want to nurture your excitement and help you share it with others.


The PDPA consults with educators and institutions to assist them in integrating, building and maintaining decorative painting education.
