Please note:
Our Artistic Anatomy workshops are designed for obtaining a full understanding of the human body. All the course content is offered in sections within the two first years of the Three-Year program. As all topics related to the human body cannot be taught in one single workshop. Each workshop session consists of a theoretical component and practical exercises.
When you take the workshop, you join in with the existing group of students undertaking a longer academic program. That's why it is impossible to choose your topics, but you can inquire about those with the admin office to ensure you are in the right group that aligns with your level of preparation and your needs.
Tuition fees: 1.200 euro
