THE CENTER FOR ACADEMIC STUDY
• The ultimate goal of the CAS is to provide artists with an education that allows them to pursue and produce an art that serves the public, elevates society and reestablishes the standards of art as a visual language that can be understood and felt beyond any boundaries. It is our belief that craft precedes artistry, knowledge precedes inspiration, observation precedes invention and a process-based art always yields a higher standard of work.

Upcoming Workshop Schedule *** Special Summer 2011 Event ***
Teachers from the Grand Central Academy, The Florence Acaademy of Art and the Angel Academy of Art will be at the CAS to teach a 4 - week Figure and Landscape Workshop.
Learn Academic Principles, Techniques and Methods from leading artists and teachers from the TOP 3 Academies in the World. Teachers from the Florence Academy of Art, Angel Academy of Art and the Grand Central Academy will be converging at the CAS for a one-time only workshop event. For 4 weeks in August the Center for Academic Study & Naturalist Painting (CAS) will be hosting figure and landscape workshops that will be taught by leading fine artists. Teachers from the top 3 Academies in the world will be on hand to teach students academic principles and methods. Students will spend 5 hours a day, 6 days a week working from a live model in the studio. Students will receive daily critiques from teachers. Students will get a chance to immerse themselves in an academic conversation that brings the ideals of all the major academies together. In addition to the figure, students will have a chance to study the landscape alongside these instructors. Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday of each week, we will be heading out to paint the landscape. Most of the instructors have spent time at the Hudson River School for Landscape and so have much to offer in terms of methods and principles of landscape painting. Students will get a chance to experience the beauty of the Utah landscape, extending the academic conversation to a broader application.
The list of distinguished instructors is as follows: Angela Cunningham from the Grand Central Academy Gregory Mortenson from the Grand Central Academy Travis Seymour from the Angel Academy Art Nancy Fletcher from the Angel Academy Art and the Grand Central Academy Ryan S.

The Center for Academic Study and Naturalist Painting (CAS) is an answer to the growing need that a number of students find when seeking out traditional Academic Art instruction. This Academy teaches the same Classical techniques and methods of drawing and painting taught at the best ateliers and academies in the world. In an extremely regimented environment, students learn how to observe nature with a high degree of accuracy. The structure of the course allows for students to progress at their own rate of learning with no time constraints, grades, or due dates to contend with. Critiques are given daily to ensure that the students understand and become intimately familiar with the methods of seeing and interpreting a subject. In such a strict and organized learning environment, the rate of student progression is dramatically hastened. Students quickly develop discipline in drawing by expecting more from their work with raised awareness and standards. Over time, they gain the ability to self-critique—a skill necessary for any working professional. The curriculum at CAS includes lessons in Copy Drawing, Cast Drawing and Painting, Figure Drawing and Painting, Portrait Drawing and Painting, Still Life Painting, Artistic Anatomy, Art History, Theory, and Composition. Students will also have access to certain Museums, which will allow them to create copies of master paintings as part of their studies. Enrollment is open to all interested students. Sessions run in three 11-week trimesters and will begin February 2, 2009. For questions concerning the Center for Academic Study and Naturalist Painting please contact its director, Ryan S. Brown at ryan@ryansbrownart.com or 801-822-8802. To be emailed an application form, please contact Ryan. STUDENT WORK Katie Liddiard Cast Drawing
