Atelier LeSueur is dedicated to giving students the l^t <br />possible training in the art of representational drawing <br />and painting. It is modeled after the studio schm^ls of <br />nineteenth century France. <br />The Atelier or studio system was developed during the se en- <br />teenth century as a modification of the older apprenticeship system. <br />It reached its ape.x in nineteenth century' France and has proven <br />to be one of the most effective means ot leaching painters. In this <br />system, students progress at their own rates through a series ot <br />eVaduated e.xercises w hich develop their ability to render nature <br />accurately. <br />The student-instructor ratio is kept very small (twelve students <br />per instructor). This enables the instructor to give optimum <br />attention to each student and to tailor the instruction to meet the <br />needs of the individual. It provides for maximum development ot <br />individual creativity, ensuring that each student learns the <br />methods necessary to paint successful pictures. <br />■mm <br />m <br />Cast Drawing <br />Ron Arthaud, first year student <br />Interit <br />Stephi <br />The instructors a <br />the Atelier syste: <br />French academic <br />fact, they are pan <br />in an unbroken cl <br />tury French pai <br />training the instr <br />ability to see am <br />similar to that o; <br />claim such a hci <br />At a time when <br />tational painting <br />last vital links i;
