Summer Drawing Bootcamp

Looking to get your drawings into shape this summer?

The new addition to DARA's programme, the Drawing Bootcamp is a series of short courses centered around the fundamentals of academic drawing.

These courses are accessible for:

• complete beginners;
• artists who are curious about DARA's methods and would like to see if our programme is a good fit;
• artists who have not been trained in academic art and wish to quickly advance their technical drawing skills.

The Bootcamp serves as an orientation to core drawing concepts taught at DARA, and prepares students for success within our more advanced Part-Time Programme and Workshops.

Each Bootcamp is successive. While it is possible to follow just one course, they are intended to be followed in order.

Please review our Admissions Policies before submitting a registration form.
