The Academy provides a full range of instruction programs.
From workshops, one-on-one guidance/coaching and our 4-level program.
Academic Program
This option provides a structured program involving a series of academic projects of increasing complexity. There are 4 levels students work through, starting at level 1.
Level 1 of the program is drawings done in graphite. Students will learn the basics of drawing accurately, understanding of light and form, as well as the terminology used throughout the program.
Level 2 is Cast Drawing in charcoal. This brings students into the world of 3D and teaches them how to work in “The Round” using charcoal as an intermediate between dry media and oil paint.
Level 3 and 4 are various projects that train the student the techniques of oil painting. Starting from Monochrome and introducing colour and complexity from project to project.
Each Academic class is 3 hours in length.
General Lessons
Under this option, students can design a self-directed program. Students can propose a specific piece of art that they would like to try. Or students can request instruction in particular areas that are new to them (new techniques or new materials) or where they feel that their technique may be weak.
Students can bring in a piece that they have already started but are unsure how to proceed further or that reveals a weakness they have identified and would like to know how to correct. We recommend contacting us ahead of time to see if we can facilitate your needs.
Each General Lesson is 3 hours in length.
(Drawing And Painting)
Consistent with the ethos of our institution, the General Lessons in Drawing and Painting will maintain a primary emphasis on Realism. Abstract or modern art techniques are not included in the curriculum of our academy.
