What happens after SARA?

What students do after they graduate from SARA is really up to them. They leave school with the skills and knowledge to work independently as fine artists, or work in a variety of industries and businesses where these skills are not only appreciated but valued.  Beyond fine art, some examples of such fields would include the many forms of illustration (children’s books, graphic novels, medical and scientific illustration, comics, etc.), as well as concept art within the film and computer game industries (character/creature design, environments, vehicles, props, etc.), graphic design and even tattooing. SARA has had graduates who work in all these areas.

It isn’t uncommon for a student to begin their studies with the intent to work in a certain area upon graduation, but then change their mind during their studies and pursue another direction.

Whatever the direction students wish to move, the fact is, over and above their printed graduation certificate, students leave SARA with real, practical skills that they own, that are valued, and that they can take with them no matter what they do and wherever they go.

“I came to Atelier Stockholm (SARA) looking to develop my drawing skills. As an already professional painter, established on the international art scene, I was looking for expertise within the academic circles of art to help me develop further. Atelier Stockholm provided me with that expertise and knowledge. The striking thing about the method being taught at Atelier Stockholm is that it is presented as a science, a method of looking at the world and successfully interpreting it onto the paper or canvas. During my time at Atelier Stockholm my drawing skills developed tremendously, and I understood that this knowledge, developed and passed down through the centuries from the old masters, is truly something to treasure. I urge anyone who seeks knowledge about understanding human anatomy and developing one’s skills in realistic drawing and painting to study at Atelier Stockholm.”
