The Academy of Realist Art Mexico (ARAM) opened its doors in the city of Querétaro in January 2020, with the aim of bringing to Mexico a professional teaching of classical-realist art focused on drawing, painting and sculpture.

ARAM seeks to offer its students the highest level of knowledge by developing a strong technique based on methodologies used in the 19th Century European Academies. ARAM carefully designed a program that teaches students through observation, analysis, and practice to achieve skilled-eyed artists capable of expressing creativity.

The aim of ARAM is to be able to bring back some of the techniques that are absent in contemporary art. For realist art to become part of society again, it is imperative that new artists are professionally trained. For the first time in Mexico the doors are opened to this classical formation.

The Academy of Realist Art Mexico seeks to develop students with a solid technique based on traditional artistic methodologies in a professional way. The student will generate critical thinking and will be able to use the resources offered to complete their academic projects and eventually personal projects.

The teaching method leads the student to study directly from nature and from the old Masters as a point of reference to achieve control over their drawing, painting and sculpture technique. The student will master the block in, sight size and comparative measurement methodologies, which will be practiced throughout the entire program.
