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 (one academic year is equivalent to 9 months/3 terms).

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).

Drawing is the backbone of the Barcelona Academy of Art's teaching process. Without a solid foundation in drawing, most of the difficulties that arise throughout an artistic career are very difficult to solve. Sculpture is drawing in open space. Beginner students in this Program, begin with the study of the human figure in Drawing, then go through modelling in sculpture and finally work on sculpting the torso and life-size figure. As students move towards more complex projects, teachers will motivate them to try out new techniques and shapes so that they can find their own expressive language.

The Drawing | Sculpture Program includes the subjects of the 19th century Traditional Program (Human Figure Drawing Long Pose, Cast Sculpture, Human Figure Modelling) and the Friday Seminars (they vary each term).

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.

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.
