Bridgeview School of Fine ArtsImportant! If you are new to Bridgeview, you will begin with DRAWING. 99.9% including students with advanced art degrees from US colleges do not have proper classical training in drawing from observation. Working from photos is not considered a real skill at our school. Once your drawing gets up to a certain level you switch to color. The exact timeline to proceed to color is different for each student depending on his natural talent and prior training.
