The Ashland Academy of Art

The Ashland Academy of Art is an art school located at 1081 E. Main Street Ashland, Oregon. The Ashland Academy of Art is a classically based, independent school. The Academy's program is mainly based on the Russian academic system. This system followed the artistic achievements of the Renaissance, developed and practiced by European academies until the end of 19th century [The St. Petersburg State Academic Institute of Fine Arts, Sculpture and Architecture: [http://artroots.com/ra/index.html] Retrieved on 2008-10-09.] .

The Ashland Academy's extensive curriculum combines academic art education with the latest advancements in psychology of visual perception, and is designed to give students a mastery of drawing and painting, making it one of few such schools worldwide. [The Ashland Academy of Art: [http://www.ashlandacademyofart.com] Retrieved on 2008-10-09.] The Academy's drawing curriculum is rooted in the Construction Method. This analytical method emphasizes a sculptural approach to form, imparting a deep understanding of form by studying comparative measurements, structure, planes function, and perspective.

History

“As a school, Soviet Socialist Realism surpassed the best naturalist and realist genre painting in the West duringthe third quarter of the twentieth century! It was a 'renaissance of realism’ behind the Iron Curtain.” - Vern Grosvenor

After the advancement of 20th century modernism, traditional art was rejected by European and American art schools. During this time, Soviet-Russian Art Academies built their program on the best features of classical European academies, adding a tremendous body of theoretical work, uniquely developed by Russian artists-teachers of eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, continued and expanded into the twentieth century. [Vern GrosvenorSwanson, "Soviet Impressionism", Publisher: Antique Collectors Club Dist ISBN-10: 1851492801]

Preserving this unique and enormously valuable academic system, Semyon Bilmes, founder of Ashland Academy of Art, brought this knowledge directly to his students. Semyon Founded the Bilmes Art School in 1990 in Medford, Oregon. In 2003 Semyon Bilmes founded The Ashland Academy of Art.
