The Atelier Method is
a method of fine art instruction modeled after the private art studio schools
of 15th-19th
century Europe. Taking its name from the French word
for "artist's studio," the Atelier Method is a form of private
instruction in which an artist,
usually a professional painter,
works closely with a small number of students to progressively train them.
Atelier schools can be found around the world, particularly in North
America and Western
Europe.
The methods used by Atelier instructors may vary greatly from one studio to another; however, artists using the "Atelier" approach tend to be united in their desire to reintroduce classical methods and techniques. L'Atelier applies this method to the study of make up and special effects.
