About Galvez Atelier
Galvez Atelier envisions an art education that cultivates mastery, creativity, and intellectual growth. By fostering a rigorous yet nurturing environment, we empower artists to develop strong foundations in classical techniques while evolving their artistic voices. Through education, mentorship, and community, we aim to shape individuals whose artistic excellence contributes to cultural enrichment and the broader creative landscape.
Galvez Atelier is a premier art institution dedicated to skill-based training in classical drawing and painting. Rooted in the rigorous traditions of atelier and academic methodologies, we provide a structured yet dynamic learning environment where artists refine their craft through time-honored techniques. Our core programs in drawing and painting are designed to build a strong foundation in visual arts, making them essential for aspiring fine artists, designers, and creative professionals.
Beyond technical mastery, Galvez Atelier fosters an artistic community where mentorship, creativity, and discipline intersect. We believe that a solid understanding of classical methods is the key to artistic evolution, empowering students to develop their unique voices while maintaining a deep respect for tradition. Through an unwavering commitment to pedagogical excellence and intellectual rigor, the Atelier upholds the enduring relevance of classical methodologies while equipping artists with the necessary foundation to navigate and contribute to the evolving landscape of contemporary art.
The Galvez Atelier Classical Program is designed by teaching artist, Alfred Galvez. The classes are arranged in sequence according to increasing difficulty. The range of available classes can accommodate students across the learning spectrum: enthusiasts who engage in art as part of leisure, practicing artists who need to enrich themselves and re-learn a solid foundation in creative practice, and aspiring artists who are preparing for a career in art or a Fine Arts talent test.
The Classical Program is meant to provide a strong foundation in classical techniques. Classes in the program are not only designed to teach skills but also to train students how to see and understand the interplay of the formal elements and principles seen in an artwork.
Galvez Atelier offers a curriculum with a sequence of classes carefully designed to help the student develop in drawing and painting. This method is akin to the practice in European ateliers of the past. However, this is a timeless approach that has worked throughout the history of humanity and across cultures. It is implemented at the atelier to provide the proper foundations for the learner to know how to create works that possess intrinsic excellence. The program then offers modular classes to continue one’s artistic education.
