The Art Academy

Independent studies have shown that as early as age twelve many people abandon their artistic goals because they feel untalented and self-conscious about the work that they produce. Often this is due to a lack of technical training.

In many art schools today instruction centers around experimental exercises with little or no reference to the technical process of creation. When this happens a problem occurs: Students lack the substantive skills necessary to fulfill their creative vision.

American painter Eric Fischl (1948- ) commented on this very point: "Part of the problem is that artists of my generation were not educated. We were not given the equipment because it was generally believed to be irrelevant. Drawing, eye-hand coordination, art history - really fundamental stuff was considered unnecessary."

At The Art Academy we take this challenge seriously. We’ve structured our programs to advance technical skills balanced with creative exercises designed to promote an in-depth understanding of the essential principles of art.

As students progress throughout our programs they are continually challenged with new assignments that take them to higher levels of understanding.
