At Life & Art Academy, we awaken the inner artist in you to rise and give shape to your thoughts, interpretations and expressions through the world of Fine Art. We provide you the apt forum to learn drawing and painting in your own unique style.
While there may be many places where you can learn Fine Arts, what sets Life & Art Academy apart is our unique, practical teaching approach.Our students are taught how to interpret live models (both objects and humans) right from the beginning, as opposed to learning from books and pictures. This gives our students a distinctive edge in viewing subjects through an artist's eye and becoming better artists with each session. With the right guidance and tutoring, we believe there is a hidden artist waiting to be unleashed within all of us!
At Life & Art Academy, we offer a Professional Certificate Course in Fine Art, exclusively for students who wish to take up art as their career. This is an intense 2 year programme, which is available to everyone – even beginners. Apart from this, we offera series of Certificate Courses to learn Drawing & Painting from the basic level. Every student should begin with Level 1 before proceeding onto the other two levels, or should have completed an equivalent Level 1 course elsewhere.
At Life & Art Academy we offer a two-year Professional Certificate Course in Fine Arts, which spans a broad spectrum of subjects, including the fundamentals of drawing and painting, free hand drawing, proportions, perspective, portraiture and anatomy. Students will be taught to use the complete range of mediums involved in drawing and painting.
The Professional Certificate Course in Fine Arts is designed for students who wish to pursue careers as artists. Our programme provides students a thorough understanding in the field of Fine Arts and its application in other fields as well. The subjects covered are on-par with University-level programmes and offer intensive practical training to the students. Students are welcome to extend their programme upon completion of two years if they wish to further refine their skills and seek continued mentorship.
While this programme is ideal for budding artists, it also acts as a perfect complementary programme for current students of creative fields such as VisCom, Visual Arts, Architecture, Graphic Designers, Animators, Multimedia developers etc. This course would be an active propeller in their career, enhancing their artistic skills and thereby giving them an edge both in their classroom and in their career afterword. This way, when they graduate from their main course of study, they would have simultaneously completed this Professional Certificate Course as well, positioning them much higher than their peers.
Students will have to take up an examination at the end of each year and submit project works to support their learning. They will be graded on their work and certificate will be provided at the end of the programme. Click here to know more about the Grading of the programme.
