If you want to paint and learn painting techniques - this is the only place to go in Australia. Sure, you can go to Uni and they will teach you concepts, and you can be a professional painter - but if you are anything like me, you'd be sitting there thinking to yourself why figures in the painting look SO STUPID when you had no formal training.  Painting is a DOING thing as well as a THINKING THING. Unfortunate that technique and actually MAKING the painting is not a thing anymore in Australia. But this place is keeping it alive. My suggestion - go in, do intensive study, and get out as fast as you can so you can develop your own afterwards. You dont want to get stuck in techniques either - as contemporary painters, we need concepts, philosophy, and other stuff as well. its a lot of ask for an occupation that will have you eat potatoes, and you'd be out of luck if you arent WHITE or MALE because inevitably, the favour will go there regardless of any path you take in visual art. Suppose it's improved a bit since the 50's but not by much.  If you are looking for career, to buy new car, a house, and retirement monies, I suggest getting into accounting - capitalism and having high ideals/morals/goals does not go together.  Having said that - if you want to take few classes for fun, this is certainly the place as well. Located in beautiful ROCKS with places for drinks, eats, and Julian Ashton space is super romantic. You will be working on Heritage listed easels, casts, and skeletons.  ps. I often write on my phone, so pls excuse my rant

This is the best institution in Australia that teaches Traditional Realist Academic Painting and Drawing. The school is providing a supportive, friendly and encouraging environment for all level of students. Being a current student at Julian Ashton Art School for the last 5 years with intention to continue and broaden my education for at least two additional years I must stress that for the greatest benefit, a person who is considering starting the art education here, has to be prepared for at least 3 - 4 years of full time studies or equivalent. Self motivation, dedication and practice outside the school are all just as important in achieving excellence and result.

A most extraordinary place dedicated to helping people from all walks and ages acquire real, technical skill, all at their own pace. Recently accredited by the Art Renewal Centre, this school is up there with international realist ateliers. The teachers are contemporary artists who have come through the school themselves, winning major art prizes and love imparting their extensive knowledge to students, whether an absolute beginner or an advanced student.

I love this school! It has the best, most experienced teachers and they all have the ability to help you truly learn to paint and draw - and achieve the kind of skills you initially might think are beyond you. People come from far and wide because of these rare gems.

I joined Rod Wong's beginners class. He's a great teacher and the whole class has a great atmosphere.

Very disappointing. No encouragement, teacher was not supportive of beginners. Other students felt the same. Waste of money.

Great place for art lovers

Most of the time its self guided

Nice collection of casts and studio .
