An art school is an educational institution with a primary focus on the visual arts, including fine art, especially illustration, painting, photography, sculpture, and graphic design. Art schools can offer elementary, secondary, post-secondary, or undergraduate programs, and can also offer a broad range of art-related subjects such as art history, art theory, and art criticism.
History[edit | edit source]
The concept of art schools dates back to the Renaissance, where artists were trained in workshops and studios. The first modern art school was the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze in Florence, established in 1563. Over time, art schools have evolved to include a variety of disciplines and have become integral parts of the educational system in many countries.
