"Early Bird Registration" opens 1 week earlier for current DARA students and applicants who were wait listed from the previous trimester. To apply, click on a course page below and submit an online application form. Applications are considered on a first-come, first-served basis. It is therefore advised to apply early before classes are filled. Once a class is full, new applications are placed on a waiting list. Once a trimester has started, it is not possible to join a class in the middle of the term. |
Trimester ProgrammeCourses at DARA are intended for figurative artists who are drawing and painting in traditional media, and are seeking serious academic study on a long-term basis.
Classes at DARA are technical, skill-based, and are structured around learning drawing and painting from direct observation. We welcome dedicated students of all levels of ability to enroll. Courses are offered on a trimester basis in the fall, winter, and spring seasons. Each trimester lasts for a period of 11 weeks. Students may enroll in one or more courses for a full trimester at a time. Applications for each trimester open three months ahead of the trimester start date. New students are strongly encouraged to start with Introduction to Classical Drawing. (In particular, students who have no previous classical or academic training should start with this course.) All trimester courses at DARA are successive. The curricula is intended for students to enroll in the same course for multiple trimesters in order to advance on to progressively more advanced and challenging studies. Please review our Studio Policies before submitting a registration form. |
