EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES for YOUNG ARTISTS
Skill-Based Learning for Painting, Drawing and Sculpture
-Atelier Training (skill-based learning centers with very small classes; all classes are taught by professional working artists who demonstrate from life in front of the students; modeled after system in 19th century France; I HIGHLY recommend this training…this is where I did the bulk of my learning and taught for several years)
-Ateliers are located all over the world. Visit http://www.artrenewal.org/ for ARC approved ateliers.
In the area:
-Watts Atelier of the Arts is located in Encinitas (where I trained and taught)
-Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Art
-Kline Academy, Orange County
On-line training:
-DaVinci project (skill based training for art teachers of all levels); Juliette Aristides is the founder of this and she is INCREDIBLE (also has an atelier in the Seattle area)
