Excellent on-line course. Systematic, and very well structured. In one year, it took me gradually from the basic elements of drawings and oil paintings to the level where I can do my own art work with very satisfactory results. I never believed that I can do any oil paintings, but with the good instructions and precise and constructive comments from the professors, I am now able to paint in oil, and produce very nice pencil drawings, in the classical style.

"The academy has helped me a lot in challenging myself. The professors were very helpful with their feedback and constant encouragement. I finally started to draw/paint consciously by understanding the forms and color relations"

My experience at FCAA was wonderful! It was more than I ever hoped for! I was pleasantly surprised at the information and education that I received. The staff and administration were very kind and helpful. They were there to support me in my dream of studying art in Florence, Italy. They helped me to overcome student visa issues. They knew exactly what to do and we were able to resolve the problems. The art instructors are the absolute best. Everyone of them are artist of the highest caliber. They are very professional in their teaching methods and techniques. They were genuinely concerned about my progress and my success in grasping the artistic principles they were teaching. I was astounded when I saw the private artworks of the instructors. The quality of their artworks shows they are outstanding artists. I feel so blessed to have been able to learn at their hands. Thank you so much for an amazing year!

It was an amazing journey to be part of FCCA. How fast a year passed unbelievable.
This program has everything you need to learn in the beginning or to improve your talent. All teachers are very nice, productive and supportive. You can always contact for any question.
I could’t imagine before, that l can draw or paint with oil color academically. This was a dream for me. Now I feel confidence on fundamentals of painting and clear about all stages. Just need to practice more and more by my self. The best part is, l’ve learnt not to be afraid of my mistakes. I enjoyed a lot and now l have a totally different point of view.
