Teaching staff
The teachers and visiting professors will follow the students’ learning step by step with a focus on drawing, which is precisely the heart of the teaching process of the Milano Painting Academy, because painting is the obvious goal of drawing, and it is impossible to pursue an artistic path in painting without a solid foundation of drawing; painting is conceived as an “ultra-language” that is grafted onto the language of drawing as it provides for the absolute control of themes such as anatomy, proportion, sign, hatching and perspective.
The visiting professors will constantly follow the learning path and progress of each student, accompanying them towards increasingly complex projects through the experimentation of techniques and stylistic solutions that lead the student to find their own artistic character and their own expressive language.
