Sofia Art Academy

Teaching classical art classes since 1993

(305) 949-1617
[email protected]

Sofia Art Academy is a classical-style private art school, that gives a great opportunity to study fundamentals in classical drawing, painting and composition. A series of tasks (cast drawing, cast painting, drawing and painting from still lifes and live models) are done through levels by a student. Students must complete each task to the instructor’s satisfaction before progressing to the next. As students acquire each skill with strong emphasis placed on accurate observation and construction of proportion, shape, tonal value and color, new and more challenging projects are assigned. This system is referred to as “academic training with systematic progression” or “systematic teaching and learning.”

Main Program
We offer individually-based classes for children and adults
Sofia Art Academy’s program is very unique. It’s based on traditional teaching methods of European special art schools for kids, colleges with BFA and universities with MFA programs, all in one. Just like in traditional, nineteen-century’s art ateliers, we offer the opportunity to study classical drawing and painting techniques with master artists. Our program developed to enable students to gradually build very strong fundamentals in academic style, from beginner to professional level.

Sofia Art Academy offers four-level program for different age categories:
Kids – ages 5-9
Kids to Teens – ages 9-13
Teens to Adult – ages 13 and Up
Short description of levels:

Beginning level
Constructive drawing and painting of simple objects and forms, sculptures, and still lifes. Introduction of composition (Creative imagination).


Second level
Constructive drawing and painting of complex objects and forms, sculptures, and still lifes. Basics of composition (Creative imagination).

Third level
Constructive drawing and painting of complex objects and forms, sculptures, and still lifes. Basics of composition (Creative imagination).

Fourth level
Constructive drawing of human muscle anatomy, head, torso and full figure. Life models portrait and figure drawing and painting.
Advance composition (Creative imagination).

After completing all four levels students enter

Master’s levels 1, 2 and 3
Advance figure drawing and painting. Study and development of figurative and stylized compositions.

Painting with a Purpose

Painting with a Purpose Give Back Program.
The founders of Painting with a Twist met while giving back to their local community and that commitment to give back lives on through our Painting with a Purpose Program. Each month, our studios across the country host Painting with a Purpose events in collaboration with local non-profit organizations where proceeds from the event go back to the organizations. To date, we’ve raised nearly 7 million dollars for local non-profits such as Habitat for Humanity, Multiple Sclerosis, Odyssey House, and the Vera Bradley Breast Cancer Foundation.

El Sumo Pontífice en su forma más personal, profunda y apasionada.

PAPA FRANCISCO

_ En este libro el Papa explica por qué debemos, y cómo podemos, hacer que el mundo sea más seguro, más justo y más saludable. El texto es el fruto de muchos intercambios entre el Papa y su biógrafo, el periodista británico Austen Ivereigh, en las semanas posteriores al inicio del problema del coronavirus. 
__ En “Soñemos juntos” el Papa Francisco ofrece comentarios sobre temas cruciales, incluida la desigualdad de riqueza, el papel de la mujer en la sociedad y la iglesia, la crisis ambiental, la inmigración, el aumento de la polarización, el populismo y el fundamentalismo, y las relaciones raciales a la luz de las protestas por la muerte de George Floyd.
__ A tiempo para la temporada navideña, este libro sirve como un recordatorio de la misión cristiana de servir a los pobres: durante las crisis, el Papa Francisco nos anima a tender la mano a los necesitados. De esa manera, no solo aliviará el sufrimiento de los demás, sino que también encontrará una nueva vida para usted y la sociedad.

THE CUBEMAN. MY PERSPECTIVE

Cubeman Performance Art

THE CUBEMAN. MY PERSPECTIVE

THE CUBEMAN. MY PERSPECTIVE

BY RAFAEL MONTILLA

In my performance, I cherish the transformation of myself and the viewers into becoming the Cubeman, from which we look at life from a different perspective: mirror on mirrors where we can reflect themselves ad infinitum.

Photo: Victor Guido

I love the idea to free people held hostage by an unvarying routine. 

I love the idea to break the monotonous routine of people and make their day in the best way with my performance.

The idea is that everyone comes together, regardless of their age, their gender, their race, their color, their religion. At that moment, we can transcend the barriers among us.

I love the idea that a performance awakens our senses and opens the doors to our imagination.

Primera Trienal Internacional de Performance Deformes

Primera Trienal Internacional de Performance Deformes

  • 9 de noviembre hasta abril de 2021
  • Información en www.performancedeformes.cl

Tras una exitosa historia previa de casi dos décadas, Deformes se convierte en trienal. La primera versión se desarrollará bajo el contexto de crisis sanitaria mundial que instó a sumar al programa actividades en forma remota.

De forma inédita la Trienal Deformes se desarrollará durante seis meses, desde noviembre del 2020 hasta abril del 2021, con actividades tan diversas como talleres, conferencias, laboratorios y por supuesto performance en formato on line y presencial.

La primera parte de este proyecto se desarrollará a través de la red, entre el 9 y el 13 de noviembre con la participación de artistas de Irlanda, Irak, Irán, Cuba, Noruega, Alemania, El Salvador, Argentina, Holanda ,Francia, Italia, Costa Rica, Uruguay, Suiza, Suecia, Brasil, Dinamarca, España, Canadá, Portugal, Corea del Sur, Togo, Myanmar, Hong Kong, Nepal, Bangladesh, India y Chile.

De esta forma, en una primera etapa se realizará un encuentro en virtual para el cual se ha invitado a 60 artistas de 4 continentes a accionar en una transmisión en vivo, poniendo énfasis en cómo el contexto de pandemia y reclusión ha provocado cambios en el lenguaje de la performance.

A través de sus intervenciones, los creadores reflexionarán sobre el estado y el lugar del cuerpo en la virtualidad. Deformes online incluirá también charlas a cargo de los teóricos Miguel Ángel López (Perú), Víctor Vich Flores (Perú), Irina Garbatzky (Argentina), Alina Peña ( México) y Juan Pablo Sutherland (Chile) y Mildred Durán (Colombia). También se llevará a cabo el Laboratorio de Performance “En busca del Yo” facilitado por el antropólogo social y artista mexicano Gustavo Álvarez.

Posterior a este primer ciclo, se sumarán mensualmente nuevas actividades de similares características para concluir con una muestra presencial en Santiago (14 al 16 de enero) y Talca (18 al 22 de enero).

Historia

La primera versión de Deformes se llevó a cabo el año 2000 en Santiago reuniendo a creadores nacionales en torno a la performance, en un momento en que en Chile no había otros espacios dedicados a la disciplina.

La segunda versión, curada por Francisco Copello y Gonzalo Rabanal, se realizó en salas y espacios públicos de la ciudad, además de incorporar a artistas internacionales vinculados a las artes visuales, el teatro, la danza, la música, la antropología y las artes electrónicas.

A partir del 2006 el evento mutó a Bienal Internacional de Performance Deformes al alero de la Universidad Austral de Chile en Valdivia, con apoyo del Museo de Arte Contemporáneo MAC de Santiago. Tras seis versiones que combinaban acciones en vivo con actividades de formación, Deformes se convirtió en trienal a partir de este año, en la idea de poder contar con más apoyos e involucrar a mayor número de participantes.

Aparecer y desaparecer

Existen muchos ejemplos en el continente de prácticas donde el uso del cuerpo de manera performática genera una resonancia al momento de realizar protestas o denuncias políticas; sin ir más lejos, las Madres de la Plaza de Mayo en Argentina, o la Agrupación de Familiares de Detenidos Desaparecidos en Chile.

En Mil Mesetas, Deleuze y Guattari describen como máquina de guerra las relaciones de poder en las organizaciones sociales a partir de sus primeras formaciones en los pueblos nómades en contraste con las primeras formas del aparato de Estado. Así, la máquina de guerra “parece ser irreductible al aparato de Estado, está fuera de su soberanía y es previa a sus leyes”. Esta lectura delinea un estado de la práctica de la performance en Latinoamérica rebelde y subversiva que la ubica en las fronteras entre las artes visuales y la manifestación social.

En este contexto, sumado a la pandemia mundial, la primera Trienal Internacional de Performance Deformes ha invitado a los creadores a pensar en la performance desde tres ejes temáticos: Cuerpo, disolución y desaparición: el cuerpo en pantalla como residuo; La digitalización del cuerpo: acción, palabra y ritualidad; La virtualidad del cuerpo: aparecer y desaparecer en tiempos de guerra.

Todas la programación puede ser encontrada en la web www.performancedeformes.cl

Las acciones en vivo serán transmitidas a través del canal de Youtube de la Trienal.

Para asistir a las conferencias y laboratorios es necesario inscribirse en los siguientes enlaces:

Conferencias “Escenarios de batalla en el espacio público” y “Los cuerpos anormales como campo en disputa” 

Laboratorio “En busca del yo”

The Case for Video Art

The Case for Video Art

What is video art? How is it any different from all the other moving pictures that are apparently not-art? Let’s explore its history and present.

Immerse yourself in the mind and process of Sol LeWitt

Immerse yourself in the mind and process of Sol LeWitt

Sol LeWitt
Sol LeWitt

Sol LeWitt’s larger-than-life wall drawings are acclaimed around the world. He influenced an entire generation of artists as a founder of Conceptual and Minimal art. And now, thanks to a new app, art lovers can get an unprecedented inside look at his life and work.

Sol LeWitt
Sol LeWitt

“The idea was that we all wanted to re-invent art; we thought that art had come to a dead end, that it was the end of something, the end of modern art. All the people that were involved wanted to do something that started from ground zero.”

– Sol Lewitt

Sol LeWitt
Sol LeWitt

And reinvent he did. Today, LeWitt is known as a leading figure of Minimalism and one of the key founders of Conceptual art, which focuses on the idea and process of art rather than just the final product. He also went on to find international acclaim for his highly geometrical works—particularly his larger-than-life wall drawings, which come with an intricate set of instructions that need to be followed precisely. As a result, the wall drawing installations are unique to each location. Through these installations, he was striving to turn art into a more collaborative process.

“The idea becomes a machine that makes the art,” LeWitt famously said. Today, a new idea in the form of a multimedia app is bringing his art, story, and creative process to life for the next generation of art lovers.

In a time when museums and educators are urgently seeking out ways to make art accessible to visitors and students, the Sol LeWitt App is a groundbreaking example of what’s possible when art meets technology. Stemming from a collaboration between the Sol LeWitt Estate and Microsoft, the app weaves together rich storytelling and never-before-seen footage so people can see LeWitt’s process come to life, virtually tour his studio, and magically unlock a trove of information by using AI to scan his wall drawings.

The Sol LeWitt App was authored and curated by Lindsay Aveilhé, a New York-based curator and LeWitt-specialist with a particular interest in emerging technology in arts education. She’s the editor of the catalogue raisonné Sol LeWitt Wall Drawings and co-editor of Sol LeWitt Writings and Selected Interviews. She believes that this new app captures the spirit of his legacy, given that he was a proponent of making art available to everyone.

Sol LeWitt
Sol LeWitt

“His decision to use assistants [to install his wall drawings] was out of necessity but also a very political gesture for him,” says Aveilhé, adding that LeWitt was passionate about advocating for the rights and fair payment of artists and art workers long before it was a hot topic on social media (and long before there was even social media). “He believed anyone can be an artist, and that he and those who assisted him would become collaborators in making the art… and, in that way, the art becomes more democratic.”

“If you want to be able to disseminate knowledge as widely as possible, then tech is the way to do it.”

– Lindsay Aveilhé

Sol LeWitt
Sol LeWitt

It’s fitting, then, that the app gives anyone—whether at home, at school, or at a museum—the ability to dive deep into LeWitt’s art on a large scale. It explains some of the more complex concepts he explored, like seriality or geometric and isometric shapes, while offering a sense of personal connection and understanding. “We’re able to use technology to explain how and why he created a work, which is really cool,” says Aveilhé. “And the studio tour is really special,” she adds, “I haven’t seen anything quite like it. To have so much unique documentation of Sol’s own voice, to have video, and a studio tour—it’s super in-depth and personal.”

The more you dive into LeWitt’s art, the more it seems timeless—like his ideas and influence are all around us, living on and evolving in the hands of new artists and designers today. And that’s because they are. It’s almost as though LeWitt could sense his future legacy before his passing in 2007, when he said: “If anyone asks, tell them my best work is yet to come.”

Press Release Art Basel announces new Online Viewing Rooms concept, with two freestanding, thematic editions taking place in September and October

Featuring no more than 100 galleries in each edition and running over the course of four days, this new format will give Art Basel galleries the opportunity to present tightly curated exhibitions drawn from their programs, showing six works simultaneously. Live from September 23 to September 26, “OVR:2020” will be dedicated to works made this year, while “OVR:20c”, live from October 28 to October 31, will exclusively feature works created in the 20th century.

Both iterations will be open to proposals from all galleries that have been accepted to an Art Basel fair from 2018 onwards. Applications will be reviewed by newly formed Selection Committees that consist of prominent gallerists. The September “OVR:2020” Selection Committee comprises Sadie Coles, Massimo De Carlo, Mills Morán, Prateek Raja, Lisa Spellman and Jasmin Tsou while the Selection Committee for October “OVR:20c” comprises Emi Eu, David Fleiss, Thiago Gomide, Steven Henry, Lucy Mitchell-Innes and Mary Sabbatino.

In addition to ongoing platform software development, these new Online Viewing Rooms will introduce a new live-chat feature allowing visitors to directly engage with galleries. For the first time, Art Basel will charge for participation in the Online Viewing Rooms platform – a flat fee of CHF 5,000 for either of the upcoming two editions within the novel format.

Marc Spiegler, Global Director, Art Basel said: ‘While the art market still faces difficult times, we feel it is pivotal for us to continue exploring different ways of supporting galleries and engaging with our audiences. The highly-focused September and October editions of the Online Viewing Rooms provide our galleries with new opportunities in this highly dynamic moment.’

In December, regardless of whether Art Basel can proceed with the show in Miami Beach, another Online Viewing Rooms event will be taking place with details to follow in the early fall.

The Online Viewing Rooms will be available via the Art Basel website under artbasel.com/ovr and the Art Basel App. More details on participating galleries and their presentations will become available in the coming weeks.
