Our Heritage & Philosophy
Where Classical Art Meets Modern Academics
Founded in Glendale, United Art Academy by Aslamazyan reimagines children's after-school hours as a sanctuary for intellectual and artistic cultivation.
Our philosophy
“Art is the banner of the coming synthesis.”Nicholas Roerich
At United Art Academy, we see art as a synthesis of knowledge, culture, history, language, and creative expression — different disciplines connected into one meaningful whole.
Who runs the academy
Gayane Aslamazyan, PhD
Art Historian · Founder & Artistic Director
United Art Academy was founded on the belief that art should not be taught as a collection of separate activities, but understood as one interconnected world of knowledge, culture, history, and creative expression.
Our integrated educational approach brings together visual arts and art history, music and musicology, theatre, speech and media, Armenian language and literature, cultural heritage, and puppet arts. Children do not simply learn techniques or participate in activities — they discover how different forms of art and culture connect, influence one another, and give meaning to creative expression.
Our goal is not only to develop artistic ability, but to nurture culturally educated, thoughtful, and intellectually independent young people who can see more deeply, ask meaningful questions, understand and value their cultural heritage, and express their own ideas with confidence.
Our Pedagogical Framework
Four Pillars of Our Academy
Classical Lineage & Joy
We believe true creativity flourishes on a foundation of technique. Students learn composition, music theory, voice projection, and craftsmanship with genuine passion.
Integrated Daily Rhythm
No more driving across town for separate piano, art, and literature classes. Five connected disciplines sit under one roof, on one timetable, with one pickup.
Artist-Teacher Mentorship
Our faculty comprises conservatory-trained musicians, practicing visual artists, and theatre directors who mentor small studio groups with personal attention.
Poise, Focus & Character
Beyond technical skill, arts education builds lifelong confidence, critical observation, emotional intelligence, and calm academic concentration.
