 Advance Student
Once a student has acquired the requisite drawing skills, they begin to learn the art and science of painting. Painting projects are designed for the first-time painting student. The emphasis is on drawing accuracy, handling the paint, and the careful observation of light and shadow. Students go on to use a limited and the full palette while completing increasingly complex projects in cast and still life painting. Students attend figure drawing class (check student calendar for schedule of classes).  

 
New Student

New students are strongly encouraged to enroll in the Apprentice Drawing Class. Apprentice Drawing Class introduces you to all of the beginner practice and basic knowledge that is necessary to comprehends the beauty of Classical Art . Every student will be expected to complete 1-2 cast drawing and cast painting before moving on to still life work. In addition to classroom work, there will be reading assignments and occasional take home projects. During the course, in addition to the atelier instruction, students are encouraged to attend lectures at the Academy in art history, anatomy, historic methods and materials and technical demonstrations. Atelier students should address requests for additional areas of study to their instructor. ( List of “New Student” or “Advance Student “ materials and books will be provide to each student. All materials & books will be available to purchase on our website or at the school).    " Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture." Michelangelo     

 The Old Masters Atelier offers students who plan a career as a professional artists or as a hobby the opportunity to study classical drawing, painting techniques and sculptures. Information is presented in a variety of formats intended to enable students of all levels the ability to grasp difficult concepts to later incorporate into their personal artistic work.

Below you will see the list of books that we use in out “Art Student Programs” (all levels), private classes and group workshops.

During the first year of the atelier, students are immersed in the academic method of drawing. They are taught how to sight and measure the subject in order to reproduce it accurately. Exercises are designed to improve the students drawing skills, with an emphasis on contour, proportion, gesture, anatomy, modeling, and the shape of light and shadow.
