Academy of Classical Realism
The
academy is an atelier, meaning the studio of a practicing artist who dedicates
part of her time teaching a limited number of students.
This is a unique academy
that is geared to the serious students who cannot attend school full time,
but want to learn to paint in the classical realistic manner. The classes
are kept small so students can get individualized attention, and learn
from watching the teacher work with their colleagues. This makes the academy
a great option for those who want one-on-one attention.
Everything
in the curriculum has a purpose. We use a step-by–step system that when
followed, results in outstanding works of art. In the beginning of the
apprenticeship, the students will copy the masters using the techniques
the masters used for centuries. After the students have developed to a
certain level of expertise, they begin composing their own paintings.
We strive for museum quality paintings in every sense of the word.
We are committed
to the system that created the Renaissance Masters for 400 years, but
has been denied to students in the 20th century.
Our comprehensive curriculum
is designed to give students technical mastery of craftsmanship, which
develops their skills in the great classical European tradition to achieve
excellence.
The academy’s atmosphere
is relaxed, friendly, and inviting. The studio is in the beautiful rolling
hills of Cameron Park, California away from the congestion of the city. |
