    2 years Drawing & Reflecting - DISPOSITION ACT 

    While artistic education was radically rethought in the 20th century, nude drawing as a teaching format has not been fundamentally reformed since the 19th century. As an integral part of the teaching program at contemporary art academies, it is largely continued and valued in its historical form or in close reference to it.
