Drawing and Sculpture
The Full-Time Drawing | Sculpture programme 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 of a professional artist. Students have 6 to 8 hours of supervised study from Monday to Friday. The students of this course work with all the subjects of the programme, which consists of the subjects of the 19th century Traditional Programme as well as the Seminars of the Drawing | Sculpture curriculum.
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.
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 regular Drawing | Sculpture course consists of a series of assignments 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 in their work. Only when performance is satisfactory 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 all their teachers. Five general areas are evaluated: attendance, performance, effort, attitude and progress. A final average grade is given based on this.
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. The standard amount of time a full-time student spends completing the Drawing | Sculpture course is 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 6pm to 8pm (1 obligatory session).
