"Great art starts with a solid foundation. Build your foundation with us!"

Welcome to the Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Art's Studio Sessions Program.  We have a wide array of courses, which is effective in developing artists from all stages of their artistic careers.  The classes in this program are offered in a progressive manner, so you can decide which classes are best for you, helping you work toward your goal of becoming a well trained artist.

The Studio Sessions Program is geared toward the working arts professional, part-time student, and recreational artist who are unable to attend our Full-time Atelier Program, but want serious art instruction from our highly qualified faculty.  These classes are conveniently offered weekdays, weekends, and evenings to fit your busy schedule.

To all of our beginner students - Looking at all of the fine art created by our faculty can be intimidating, but remember that all of these artists had to start somewhere too. At one point they were all beginners, just like you!
