Each course is developed by professional artists to offer students a rigorous creative curriculum based on foundational concepts dating back to the Renaissance. These concepts provide the building blocks to properly prepare students for the entertainment industry. Students will be able to use this knowledge and skill to springboard their career in fields such as illustration, environment design, creature design, character animation, storyboard, game design, modeling, and more.

 

This program is available for anyone desiring to develop their artistic skills whether they are just starting on their artistic journey or already have some professional experience. The program is built on the system of workshops and goes on for 3 years with a diploma from Florence Classical Arts Academy.

​

*Winter Intensive Intake is the One-Year program which covers the same curriculum and the same amount of academic hours, but in a shorter and more compact time frame. During certain months, apart from normal daily classes, the student takes 3 evening classes per week included in the curriculum. The number of academic hours equals to the One-Year program starting in October. 

​

**Hybrid Program is the Foundation Year program split in two segments:

Online Segment (Self-Paced) 4 months: January through April with weekly assignments and weekly feedback from the professors. Once a month a Zoom meeting is held to debrief with the professor and whole group.
The online curriculum covers essential techniques and foundational skills necessary to prepare you for advanced studies. 
In-Person Segment 3 months (Intensive): May through July.
After completing the online portion, the student joins for three months of intensive, hands-on in-studio training. This segment focuses on more complex aspects of classical painting, including portrait drawing and painting with live model, composition, anatomy, copying old masters and plein-air.
 

All subjects are taught in English.

​

Full-time students (enrolled in a program of a minimum length of one year are entitled to 50 % discount for any workshop during the time of their enrollment in the course). 

 

We encourage students to meet tuition payment deadlines. However, applications entering after official deadlines will be considered as long as space is available. An additional charge of 300 euro will be applied to the tuition payments coming past the deadline.
