Traditional Fine Arts Instruction: Drawing, Painting, Clay Sculpting

Atelier Method of Instruction

"Atelier method" is a form of fine art instruction modeled after the historic 19th century private art studios of Europe. The atelier method of art tuition is based on the transfer of art skills and knowledge from an experienced artist to students, in the studio of the master artist. Atelier method is centered on realism and the acquisition of fundamental skills before exploring personal expression. Drawing, painting, and sculpting from direct observation is fundamental in our method of instruction. This discipline enhances student’s creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities which help improve performance in other subject areas of study.
