Our Program
Sofia Art Academy's program is very unique. It's based on traditional teaching methods of European special art schools for kids, colleges with BFA and universities with MFA programs, all in one. Just like in traditional, nineteen-century's art ateliers, we offer the opportunity to study classical drawing and painting techniques with master artists. Our program developed to enable students to gradually build very strong fundamentals in academic style, from beginner to professional level.

Sofia Art Academy is an academic-style art school. A series of tasks (cast drawing, cast painting, drawing and painting from still lifes and live models) are done through levels by a student. Students must complete each task to the instructor's satisfaction before progressing to the next. As students acquire each skill with strong emphasis placed on accurate observation and construction of proportion, shape, tonal value and color, new and more challenging projects are assigned. This system is referred to as "academic training with systematic progression" or "systematic teaching and learning."
