Enrollment, Fees & Term Dates

Full Time

As a full time student you will have access to 3 live model sessions per week and during each ten week term you will complete a 60 hour long pose drawing or painting. You will have the most studio time to work through the core program and development is usually faster with this many hours. Working after 5pm is possible if prearranged with our faculty.

Part Time

As a part time student you will do 9 hours per week including at least 3 hours with a live model. Studying on an ad hoc basis is possible but should ideally be not less than 6 hours per week and again should include at least 3 hours with a live model. If you would like to do more hours or less hours than our part time option this may be arranged.

Amateur or professional level, EAFA instructors are dedicated to helping you fulfil your individual artistic goals.

Term Time

Our year is split into 4 blocks of ten weeks although you are welcome to join us midway through a term.

Course Length

Our 4 level program is designed to cater for students studying full-time, part-time, or even just on a drop-in basis. For this reason course completion time varies depending on individual attendance. Each level is modular and must be completed fully before moving to the next so course length is measured by progress rather that specific term times. The approximate study time from beginner to graduation is between 2 and 4 years.
