Sheldon’s Art Academy 1-3

We here at Sheldon’s Art Academy seek to provide each student with the best art education possible. The curriculum we have developed successfully combines the Florentine school used by famous Renaissance artists such as Michelangelo, Rubens and da Vinci, and the Chiaroscuro school of Rembrandt and Frans Hals. Thus, students are not only taught the linear techniques of the Florentine school, but also the tonal qualities that the Chiaroscuro school is so famous for. These centuries’ old techniques are taught with a sense of fun and humor as students are allowed to pick their own subjects and learn to draw in a relaxed studio atmosphere.

Students studying under Sheldon and his staff will learn these age-old fundamentals of drawing and painting used by the masters themselves. Each skill and technique they acquire will follow them for the rest of their life and will be used in all their future drawings and paintings. Learning is a partnership between the teacher and student, and together, we will explore the world of shapes, forms, tones and perspective.
