Mixed modality: online and in-person
They say, we make plans, and then, life happens. We’ve often seen enthusiastic students who have had to cut their studies short, due to unforeseen personal circumstances. Students going through this experience, often face a dilemma: continue their studies in Barcelona, or go home.
Taking this into consideration, we have introduced the option to take some Blocks of the Studio Arts Program online. The number of online Blocks depends on the student’s level on the course. A student on Years 2 and 3 has more theoretical classes.
The following table explains the online modality in a schematic manner.
ELECTIVE WORKSHOPS
are optional and available to all students. These practical classes are classified into Drawing, Painting, Sculpture and Digital Images/Printing Techniques workshops plus a weekly À-Lab (artistic formation) session.
BASIC TUITION
refers to compulsory classes customized to the academic year the students are taking. Tutorials and Assembly are mandatory for all students, however, for Year 1 students Recent Art History classes are compulsory, whereas for Year 2 and 3 students, Critical Theory, À-Lab and Wrkshps are compulsory.
