The Barcelona Academy of Art opened in September 2013 and aims at teaching drawing, painting, sculpture and digital art using a full curriculum and teaching methods derived from classical-realist tradition. Its methodology originated in the Renaissance and was revived by the major academic Ateliers of the late XIX (especially by great painters such as Jean-Léon Gérôme, Léon Bonnat and Carolus-Duran). In the Barcelona Academy of Art we consider the classic academic approach not as an end but as a tool that students can use to build their own personality and artistic language. The training program at the Barcelona Academy of Art offers regular courses in drawing, painting, sculpture and digital art, which are complemented by workshops, seminars and intensive courses (Easter and Summer). These provide students with an intensive learning of methods, procedures and techniques from the best professional artists.
