Visual arts training course
The practice of drawing, the learning of color and composition, the discovery of the language of forms are at the heart of our visual art courses.
These notions give access to an understanding of the world of art, that of yesterday as well as that of today. The course is a space which allows a guided practice, intended to make observant and sensitive and, if one wishes it, to go towards a personal expression.
The courses are proposed by artists and experienced professionals.
