Duration

Approximately 50 to 60 hours of classroom time, spread across 12 months, which further depends upon the time spent by the participant on the home assignments. After completing the above scope, the participant may continue with more advanced topics and engage in creating a professional-level artist portfolio.

Classroom

4 sessions per month, where each session is for 1+ hour, at a mutually agreed day and time.

Home Assignments & Doubt Clearing Sessions

The home assignments and the related reference pictures will be shared after each classroom session. Home assignments and self-practice are critical for the success of the course and will tentatively consume triple the classroom time. Prior to the next class, the participant will have regular interaction, along with additional doubt-clearing sessions, in between the week. The participant will submit the practice sheets, and the faculty will evaluate the submitted sheets, and suggest the area of improvement for the participant to act upon.
