Drawing and Sculpture Full-Time Program
The Full-Time Drawing | Sculpture program includes an extensive study plan that incorporates all the mechanisms of traditional academics related to Drawing and Sculpture in order to provide the student with all the aesthetic and expressive resources to become a professional artist. Students have 6 to 8 hours of guided study from Monday to Thursday (from 10 am to 1pm AND from 2 to 5 pm + evening sessions from 5:30/6 to 7:30/8 pm) and seminars on Friday (from 10 am to 1pm AND from 2 to 5 pm).
Aims
- To train the eye to be thorough.
- To learn the technique of spatial drawing.
- To learn the process of constructing a portrait.
- To learn the process of constructing the complete human figure.
Methodology
In accordance with the 19th century methodologies with which the school works, the regular Sculpture programme begins with an important focus on Drawing (Human Figure Drawing).
We believe that drawing is a fundamental tool for learning sculpture. Learning to observe and relate information in 2D will facilitate the interpretation and the multiple points of view of a 3D sculpture.
The Full-time Drawing | Sculpture Program consists of a series of exercises that the student must complete at their own pace. Each day a different teacher will come to each student's workspace and offer a critique of their work, indicating all the aspects to be improved. Only when the exercise is completed according to each level's objectives can the student begin the next assignment, which will be at a level immediately above the previous one. This way, the student will advance until all the exercises of the course are completed.
At the end of each term, the students receive an individual, personalised final critique attended by their teachers. Five general areas are evaluated: attendance, performance, effort, attitude and progress. A final average grade is then determined based on these criteria.
The time that each student spends on each assignment, and consequently on finishing a course, is totally individual, and may be different from other students. However, as a standard guideline, a full-time student typically completes the Drawing | Sculpture course within a timeframe of three academic years.
The minimum enrolment time for standard courses is always one term [3 months].
Students can join the chosen programme at the beginning of each term and progress on a continuous basis, or they can choose to let some time pass between each enrolment.
Schedule: Monday to Friday from 10am to 1pm and from 2pm to 5pm. Evening sessions: Monday to Thursday from 5:30/6pm to 7:30/8pm (1 obligatory session).

Once the online form has been submitted and the student has been accepted, they will be asked to confirm their place by paying the non-refundable deposit. The non-refundable deposit corresponds to 10% of the total amount of the course enrolled by the student. The rest of the registration fee must be paid by the dates specified via email when confirming the place at the rate of one payment per registered term, and always in advance. If the non-refundable deposit is not paid, the place will remain automatically available for another student.
Students may request refunds (except the non-refundable deposit amount) which will be determined in accordance with the school's internal policy. Any change to be applied after the student's place has been confirmed will require the payment of an administrative fee.
As a general rule, refunds are not permitted other than in cases of extreme seriousness or emergency. In such cases, the student may be required to present the necessary documentation to prove that the circumstances are true. The Management Committee will evaluate each situation and the Administration Department will communicate the final decision to the student. This decision shall be final and not appealable.
