One-Year Foundation Program:

The One-Year program is the first year of the Three-Year program and is the Foundation Year in one's professional art education. This course provides the students with highly individual and customised training in small student groups. Our professors are top-notch experts who will meet you on your level of preparation and your artistic background. The sequence of learning unfolds from drawing and painting basic geometrical figures, then still-life, then casts and finally leading to portraiture. This program enables a student to gain the necessary applied knowledge in order to begin building their portfolio.

Upon successful completion of the Foundation Year Program the students receive the Certificate in Visual Arts and are eligible for admission to the second year of the Three-Year Program (Diploma in Visual Arts).

Additional Information

*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.

Upon successful completion of the Foundation Year Hybrid Program the students receive the Certificate in Visual Arts and are eligible for admission to the second year of the Three-Year Program (Diploma in Visual Arts).

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.
