MIFA’s drawing and painting classes are based on a step-by-step systematic progression. As each task is completed and a new skill is acquired, a more advanced task is assigned. The rate at which students progress through the curriculum varies by individual, and normally requires a minimum of eighteen months to complete.

Top Level instruction in realistic painting and drawing
Our curriculum is based on the teaching method used by the famous classical-realist 19th century academies. This kind of training provides a solid artistic basis, helping the students to achieve high standards of craftsmanship and technical skills. 

Our school is based on the atelier system, which represents a great advantage to the beginner and intermediate students. By sharing the studio space with more advanced students and working artists (instructors), they have the opportunity to see future projects they will work on, listen to other's critics, receive advice from advanced fellow students and watch professional painters developing their works.

 
The student graduates when all the assigned projects are successfully completed. After this, the student has the opportunity to study for three more terms to specialize in advanced portraiture, still life or figure painting.

Our curriculum is designed to be completed in six terms, and is divided in three major programs:

Intensive drawing program (approx. two and half trimesters)
Intermediate program (approx. two  and half trimesters)
Advanced painting program (approx. three trimesters)
