In recent years there has been a great return to academic drawing and painting throughout the Western world. There are a growing number of ateliers and academies involved in and respon- sible for this resurgence, perhaps none greater than the Academy of Realist Art (ARA) in Toronto & Boston. The Academy Way features select artworks from faculty, students and alumni of the ARA, and is proof positive that fine representational drawing and painting isthriving through a new generation who know that to move fordward one must also look back.
