Classical drawing is taught here as a craft to be trained, not a talent you either have or lack. Akademiets Skoler, founded in 1986, is a private drawing and design school on Stockholmsgade in Copenhagen's Osterbro district, about five minutes from Osterport station, and has prepared generations of students for careers and further study in illustration, design, architecture, animation and the other aesthetic disciplines. The school runs courses for children, teenagers and adults alike: classical drawing technique, design education, creative workshops, idea-generation seminars, online distance courses and mentoring programmes for working designers, architects and artists. It positions itself as a niche school with room for diversity in both students and curriculum, and counts itself among the most experienced schools in Denmark in classical drawing instruction. Many students use it as a preparatory school to qualify for admission to higher creative educations, building portfolios under close guidance in small classes. Evening and weekend classes make it accessible alongside school or work, and gift-card taster sessions in subjects such as fashion illustration are offered through ticketing platforms.
