As to methods there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can succesfully select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble.

Drawing and painting

MIFA's drawing and painting classes offer top level instruction in realistic painting and drawing. Whether you are looking for beginner level art classes or an art center that will help you take your talents to the next level, MIFA is your art home.


Our unique curriculum is a blend of the methods used by the famous classical-realist 19th century academies and the two major academies in Florence, Italy. Based on our own experience, we have added some twists that make it more suitable to some contemporary artistic needs!


Mission:
Our mission is to promote a return to discipline in the learning stages of art. By teaching traditional, time-tested methods, we guarantee the aspiring artist will have a strong base in drawing and painting, in addition to extensive knowledge of materials, tips, and secrets of the craft.


Vision:
MIFA envisions artists that embrace creative expression supported by the highest level of craftsmanship. Our  teaching methods and techniques provide the tools that students can use  to create their own contemporary work and develop a personal artistic  language.

​ 

Values:
MIFA strives for excellence,  mutual respect, integrity, passion, empathy, determination and love for art.


“Where the spirit does not work with the hand there is no art.” ~ Leonardo da Vinci
