During their studies students participate in outdoor painting sessions and numerous group and individual exhibitions presented in the academy exhibition halls and in many galleries located elsewhere in the city.

Preliminary instruction focuses on still life, and other figure drawing from a model. This instruction eventually changes and evolves toward the individual development of artistic awareness. The structure of the studio requires a considerable pedagogical effort from educators and requires an individual approach to each student resulting in very interesting paintings and drawings.
 

The Painting Department provides education within the scope of painting and drawing. The department is composed of 2 studios which prepare students for a final diploma and includes the one for educating students of the junior years. In the studios there are an average 6 to 10 people performing their tasks in painting and drawing.
