LARA provides students, professional artists and art teachers with the opportunity to perfect their skills by employing traditional, time-tested methods, perhaps best described as the ‘grammar’ of drawing and painting. Sadly the majority of these skills are no longer taught at mainstream art schools.
What is special about Atelier training?
All too often people are unable to express their artistic vision simply because of a lack of training. Life might have got in the way, or a previous art ‘training’ may have left them discouraged. If this is you, we can help you realise your untapped potential. We’ll teach you the skills to express your creativity.
What will the Atelier training teach you?
Concept artists and digital artists for both films and video games are in high demand. Top studios require an atelier training. We’re proud of our alumni who have taken their ‘traditional’ training and gone on to the most cutting edge of work.
LARA at the Industry Workshops
Our tutors tailor their critiques to that of a student’s individual requirements. Students of differing standards and experience work together, each learning from the other. The flexibility of the Atelier method and curriculum is perfectly suited for those who wish to study part time.
Our Figure Drawing Demo
Sight-size drawing and painting can produce extremely accurate and realistic results. The artist sets a vantage point from where all observations will be made and draws such that their subject and their drawing appear the same size from this point.
Students, tutors, models, staff, drop-in attendees – everyone who comes through LARA’s doors helps to make it what it is. In our ten years we’ve watched friendships flourish and names being made. Join us!
