Summer Figure Academy: 1-5 incredible weeks of drawing and painting the human figure from LIFE.

This is a favorite annual tradition for many VAI students and alumni!

Figure Academy students create a large collection of artwork in a short period of time! Within a few weeks, they will have made dozens of quick-sketched gestural drawings, and completed several longer-pose figure drawings and paintings using different techniques & mediums. The concentrated amount of practice that happens during Figure Academy yields incredible artistic growth and confidence boosts for our students!

We teach 3 SESSIONS of Figure Acedemy every summer! Visit the link below (or in our bio) and sign up for the dates that work for you!
