About the LARA Curriculum
The LARA Curriculum can be studied full or part-time. There are no shortcuts to mastering drawing and painting, so the length of time it takes is dependent on your progress, and the days you can commit. Each module must be completely mastered before moving on to the next. The programme is usually completed in three years full-time.
Students follow a rigorous curriculum, completing both figure and studio modules in parallel. Working from life is an integral part of atelier training, and students have the opportunity to work from sustained poses to complete the series of exercises.
