Level 1 Certificate Online Program Curriculum

This is an overview of the academic program at Miano Academy of Art. This syllabus is proprietary and for the use of apprentices only. This is an outline and changes may be made or updated according to the needs of the individual, under the supervision of our Education Director Charles Miano.

Levels are merit based and not time based, however, completion of each level may approximately be accomplished within 3 full-time trimesters (one year per level). Timing may vary per student depending on their attendance and overall commitment to the program.

Projects:

  1. Master Copy Drawings (2)

  2. Portrait Drawing (1)

  3. Figure Drawing (1)

Practice:

Aim for regular drawing practice focused on blocking in and using schemas, with a minimum of once a month working from a live model.
