Class Type 1:
Art Fundamentals
Even the masters need to keep their fundamental skills always up to date as these are the most important aspects to drawing and painting any subject matter convincingly.
We are very thorough and strict about our fundamentals teaching. Each student levels up from simple boxes, to geometric forms all the way to still life paintings to really forge a strong foundation. Because the teacher is with you at each step of each artwork, you will receive the best feedback to learn the fundamentals correctly. Unlike most other schools, where you are given a task then left alone, making unnecessary mistakes, wasting time.
Topics Covered:
-
Shape and Form
-
Light and Shadow

Still life drawing and Painting

Cast drawing and Painting

Class Type 2:
Composition
Composition is a specialty at our school. Many schools will have a very basic introduction of composition, some will even never talk about it. We believe composition and shape design is inseparable from art. Your teacher will have in depth conversations with you about your compositions and shape designs in them so that you are constantly practicing how images are put together to show your intended expression. Every student will have long and short term composition tasks assigned to them which helps them to produce a strong portfolio over time.
Topics Covered:
-
Inspiration and Visual Library
-
Freeform Sketching to Brainstorm
-
Thumbnail Designs
-
Composition and Final Rendering
-
Full scene and Environment Design
Class Type 3:
the Human Figure
Our goal in teaching figure is to strength our students' ability to master form, structure and design. We do not teach you to copy from references or models, instead, you will be trained to master light and colour, as well as shape design so that you can paint figures in any size and angle and in any lighting. Models and refs are used to acquire the tools, but not as a restriction on our creativity. This is crucial especially if you want to draw and paint from imagination.
Topics Covered:
-
Quick Gesture Drawings
-
Human Form Construction and Anatomy
-
Portrait Drawing and Painting
-
Figure Drawing and Painting
