Mission 

 

Atelier (atil-ya) is a French word literally translated as "workshop".  In
English, it is used to refer to a working studio, typically an artist's
studio.  It can also be used as shorthand for the Atelier Method, a style
of art instruction modeled after the private art studio schools of 15th-19th century Europe. 

 

The Southern Atelier is part of an ever growing International “Atelier” artistic movement dedicated to promoting classical principles in contemporary art. The Atelier’s primary intention is to provide the highest level of artistic education in realist drawing and painting at an affordable cost to students. The Southern Atelier emphasizes the application of Old Master craftsmanship, working from life and the study of nature in the subtropical climate of the southern United States-- a geographical location allowing for a serious consideration of the sun’s illumination. Our goal is to train and support artists associated with the Southern Realist Movement and enhance the visual Fine arts of burgeoning Gulf Coast Florida communities. In our viewpoint, excessive movements in 20th Century art have lead to the breakdown of sound artistic training and skill based education.  It is therefore our mission to encourage and fortify 21st Century artists in their pursuit of skill, depth, purpose and truth.
