This course is vital to all students wishing to pursue a successful art career, as well as students who wish to improve their drawing or painting skills. 

This course begins with Fundamentals 101, which stresses drawing and composition, then continues with Fundamentals 102, stressing color theory and application. In 103, students put into practice theories and applications learned in 101 and 102 through several landscape painting studies. Each assignment is designed specifically for both the beginning fine art student as well as intermediate students. This course covers the basics of color theory and practice, composition, linear perspective, and many of the various techniques of painting. Following the tradition of the Academy method of instruction, all three levels are taught in the same classroom, which encourages reinforcement of theories and practices within all levels. 

Fundamentals 201: All students that have completed the Fundamentals 101, 102, and 103 can continue with the 201 class to choose areas that they wish to improve.
All assignments will be individually designed to help the student in the area or areas that they choose. Each assignment will be incorporated with painting landscape, seascape, still life or figures.
