plan tailored to their individual strengths and aspirations.

"How does the Curri-Spot
Prep System work
in our institute?"
1 . Curri-Spot
Each Spot represents a specific level of project difficulty.
The number of Spots provides a simple way to determine the expected workload and class time.
2 . Course
The Curri-Spot system consists of four progressive levels, each offering ten specialized learning modules across different subject areas. Students advance through the program according to their individual skills, educational background, and level of experience.
3 . Student's Spot
Guided by their instructors, students select the learning modules best suited to their abilities and goals. Upon completing all the Spots within their current level, they progress to the next level.
Personalized One-on-One Mentorship
Whether students have a background in art or are just beginning their creative journey, each student's personalized “ Curriculum recipe” is carefully developed to reflect their individual strengths, experience, and goals.
This tailored approach enables students to develop their skills efficiently while building a portfolio that reflects their unique creative identity.
4 . Recommended Class Ratio
Students are assigned learning modules that correspond to their individual level and stage of development.
The color- coded chart illustrates the recommended distribution of subjects for each level.
This framework is designed to support students from a wide range of backgrounds, including first year BFA applicants, transfer and MFA applicants, to those with little or no previous art experience.
It provides an appropriate learning pathway for every stage of development
5 . Course Credit System
The Artphil six month program consists of 480 hours of studio instruction and 48 hours of figure drawing.
