Nude drawing is one of the basic drawing skills tested by the entrance exams of fine arts academies. Therefore, there is a great demand for programmes of this kind. Besides the future students of the formal fine arts programmes, amateur artists also wish to learn and improve their skills of nude drawing. Nude drawing is considered the fundamental drawing skill in terms of human anatomy and figure drawing in general. Nude drawing is important in fine arts, but it is also essential in applied arts as the basic skill for future fashion and costume designers, illustrators, 3D animators, etc. Lifelong learning programmes like these confront the prejudice that drawing is a matter of talent alone. Drawing requires the development of certain techniques and technologies as well as the organisation of the work process. The skill of drawing can be acquired and developed. That is why the Academy of Arts and Culture in Osijek, due to its Department of Visual and Media Arts, is the most qualified institution in the region to carry out such a programme of lifelong learning.

Programme duration: 15 hours.

The Academy of Arts and Culture in Osijek does not impose special enrolment conditions. The programme is intended for amateur and professional artists.

Upon completion of this programme students will be able to:

Programme fee: 159,00 EUR (1,200,00 HRK). The fee includes the cost of the certificate which certifies that the student has completed the programme.
