The teaching techniques presently in use at the St. Catharines Academy of Fine Artists have been inspired by those used at the Ontario College of Art which in turn were patterned after the famous European school known as the "Bauhaus". It operated between 1919 and the late 30's. The Bauhaus founded by architect Walter Gropius was an academy where architects and artists such as Klee, Kandinski and others worked together advancing their principles of foundation studies, form, function, colour theory and individual expression.
