Welcome to the Academy of Fine Art Germany!
The Academy of Fine Art Germany stands for an artistic practice that combines craftsmanship, precision, and depth. As Germany’s only classically oriented art academy, our focus lies on realistic drawing, painting, and sculpture.
Our workshops offer you the chance to immerse yourself in this form of art intensively and without committing to a long-term program. Whether you have one week, two weeks, or four weeks — you’ll work in a genuine studio atmosphere, guided by experienced instructors who support you individually.
The curriculum is inspired by the teaching methods of 19th-century European art academies, adapted to a contemporary context. Structured, challenging, and hands-on — ideal for anyone looking to develop their artistic skills in a focused way.
