Entry Academic Level

The basic course is suitable for those who have no training, but want to learn the basics of academic drawing. The course program is aimed at one type of activity: pencil drawing of three-dimensional geometric shapes. This technique is the basis of academic drawing, and mastery of it is necessary for successful further studies.

The classes will teach you how to draw a cube, a sphere and a cylinder, as well as a composition of several shapes. Upon completion of the courses, students master the skills of constructing shapes, applying shadows, strokes, toning, working with light and proportions. After mastering the simplest techniques, you can start drawing complex shapes.

Average academic level

Intermediate level courses are suitable for applicants to higher educational institutions of art, as well as for aspiring designers and illustrators. Teachers will help develop the ability to identify light, shadows, highlights, contrasts, as well as improve the skill of academic strokes.

The course program includes work on drawings of plaster forms, fragments of Greek bas-reliefs and parts of the face, porcelain teapot and cup, human skull, fractures and folds in fabrics. During the classes you will learn techniques such as shading and realistic touches.

High academic level

Under the guidance of experienced teachers, students of high-level courses learn to draw portraits, head and body of a person with a pencil. The skills of correctly and quickly constructing forms, maintaining proportions and academic touches are consolidated.

Courses at this level use such productions as the plaster head of Socrates, the head of Voltaire, Doutsan, Antinous, the torso of Hercules, the figure of Ecorchet Houdon in three turns, the satyr-plaster mask and the Gattamelat mask.

The difference between the studio and many others is that in order to successfully master a high-level program, it provides everything necessary for productions - from plaster molds of masks and heads to a human figure on a 1:1 scale.
