The
Philadelphia School for Make Up and Special Effects is the first school
in the Philadelphia Region to teach make up and special effects. The school's
teaching is based on the 'ateiler method'. 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.
The Pennsylvania School for Make Up and Special Effects applies the ateiler
method to the study of make up and special effects.
