The Samsara Academy of Art is India's first atelier dedicated to teaching drawing and painting with methods derived from a classical-realist tradition rooted in the 18th and 19th centuries. The curriculum also addresses the creative endeavors of the artist in the contemporary environment.
The training program at the Samsara Academy of Art offers full-time, part-time, and workshops in drawing and painting. The school opened its doors in July 2019, to cater to the need for traditional art education in India.
The program like that of the 18th and 19th century European Academies is based on a systematic progression through classical disciplines of proportion, form, values, composition, color theory, and anatomy. We consider drawing(particularly drawing from nature and models) as the backbone of gaining skills in painting and sculpture. The structure of the course allows the students to progress at their own rate of learning with no time constraints. Advancement is dependent upon the successful completion of the previous level. Student receives individual critiques every day on their current exercise to ensure they are progressing and become familiar with the method of observing and interpreting a subject. Over time, they gain the ability to self-critique a skill necessary for any working professional.
We believe that our job is to teach the means of making art, not the ends. Through our curriculum, we hope to give each student the fundamental skills they need to express their own creative ideas.
The model room and studios are set up so that the students work with a single light source on their projects whether it is the figure, portraits, casts, or still life.
Samsara Academy of Art is planning on giving lectures about academic art all around India this year to spread information more about its history and how it is relevant that artists today learn the fundamentals properly.
Courses
Along with the regular courses at the academy we have seminars and lectures on different ways to prepare materials, priming and preparing different supports for painting and drawing, the business of art, taking photographs, creating websites, etc.
Admissions
Admissions are given to students after a portfolio and essay submission. All the classes are taught in English and the students are required to have basic English skills. The current capacity of the school is 30 students and after all the places are filled, extra applications will be part of a waitlist.
Applications are accepted online through the website.
We also provide help with arranging accommodation for students.
