This week I visited the State Art Academy of Azerbaijan with some of the ladies from the International Women’s Club of Baku.
We had a very comprehensive tour of the different art studios including clay, oil painting, carpet weaving and the student exhibitions that will be opening very soon.
Each piece starts out as a pencil drawing and is then turned into a painting or clay model.
It was really interesting to see how each student painted the same subject.
Each room was full of colour! I really like this picture of a students easel and work space.
This room was full of students and their looms working on their graduate submissions.
The finished works of previous graduates are displayed throughout the halls of the academy.
I have just started painting lessons myself. I had my introductory lesson this week and next week we start painting! I’m really looking forward to it.
