Approach
The focus of THE
ART INSTITUTE OF WESTON’s art program is to provide
education and training in traditions, principles,
and skills of drawing and painting as a foundation
for one's future development as a fine artist. The
emphasis of the program is figurative and realistic,
reflecting the same traditions that have produced
master artists from the Renaissance to the present
time. Based on the traditional methods of Conchita
Firgau of painting realistically, we provide a
foundation to enable each individual to find their
own style in their own contexts with confidence.
Our normal Program is divided into three parts:
-
FIRST: Through sequential assignments, the study of
drawings forms an essential base for the process of
painting. The traditional subject matter of drawing
still-life, landscape and the figure is explored,
with the focus on the use of line, atmospheric
perspective, value, construction and proportion.
Using paper and charcoal is where the student will
learn to really see like an artist. The student will
also learn to use various techniques used by the
European masters.
-
SECOND: The student will learn to use color and
begin to develop a sense for color while
investigating the light, shade, composition, value
and texture through the use of pastels.
-
THIRD: The student is introduced to the medium of
their choice like oil, acrylic, or pastel. Using
their acquired knowledge, the student will begin to
compose new concepts for painting and advance at
their own pace. Always with the master artist at their side, guiding
the student from beginning to end with direct
demonstration.
We have special
programs available for the advanced artist.
Please inquire.
