How The Scheduling Works

All new students to the school wishing to study drawing/painting are required to complete the FOUNDATION COURSE (Part 1: Fundamental Charcoal Drawing and Part 2: Fundamental Oil Painting).  If you are studying more than 1 day per week the Foundation course can be combined with other subjects, such as  Figure, Cast drawing, Still-life and Portrait courses.  Sculpture and Gesture & Anatomy do not require the foundation course.
