Philosophy

We believe in carrying on the legacy of constructive drawing and classical sculpture.
 
Art Classes Vancouver offers a unique curriculum to students and professional artists alike. Through our three-dimensional approach to drawing and anatomically informed sculpture, you will gain a strong understanding of the way objects exist in three-dimensional space, and how to replicate them in clay or on paper.
​
A good foundation in constructive art principles and realism will boost an artists' skills in any medium they choose, and will open the doors to a greater sense of creativity and freedom.
 
We want to support artists of all experience levels in unlocking their creativity, and guide them in their journey to making great art!

OUR COURSES

Mediums Taught at ACV

Sculpting

Sculpture is one of the oldest mediums and has 3-dimensional, physical qualities which separates it from drawing and painting.Learning sculpture is very beneficial. Through the process of recreating an image that we already have in our imagination in a three-dimensional form, we connect with not just the intellectual but also the physical aspect of our being.Learning sculpture not only benefits hobbyists, but also any professional working with art, such as VFX artists working with digital 3D modeling.
