General
The Russian Academic Art Method is a traditional approach taught at the Repin Academic Institute of Fine Arts in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It emphasizes understanding three-dimensional forms and accurate visual representation, integrating philosophical and cultural studies with technical training, making it a unique and comprehensive method.
The Russian Academic Art Curriculum used at our Classical Art Education Center was developed in the mid 20th century specifically for children as young as 9 or 10 years of age. After graduating art college in Moscow, Russia, I, Elena Roché, brought the curriculum books with me to the USA. I use them for my lesson plans and the students love it for how easy it to understand what seems complicated at first.
