A bit of history
The School of Arts was established in 1918 by the decree of the then President José Pardo y Barreda. The main mission of the newly-founded educational institution was patriotic education of creative youth. Connoisseurs of high art could learn the heights of painting, graphic art, sculpture and engraving in the walls of ENSABAP, and, going on a free voyage, singing in the pictures and other results of their efforts the country that gave them life and profession.
Building Architecture
The building, in which today is the national school of fine arts, was erected in the 40s of the XX century. It is built in the republican architectural style. The color of the building, once gray, inconspicuous and modest, has now changed to bright yellow. The campus includes art galleries, auditorium, cabinets for free courses and annual exhibitions, as well as study rooms for students, canteens and other premises that the students need.
What is interesting about the National School of Fine Arts?
ENSABAP is taught by the best teachers, true masters of their craft. Any director, when applying for a permanent job, necessarily checks the candidate's qualification level in the teachers, without it anywhere. In general, the school tries to observe the traditions and maintain the status of the best in the territory of Peru. By the way, students receive a comprehensive education here, that is, they are not deprived of such subjects as literature or history. Thus, ENSABAP graduates make a step into an independent life, being already comprehensively educated specialists and just interesting people.
Quite often in the school of fine arts, exhibitions of domestic and foreign artists are held, which can be visited by both students and ordinary connoisseurs of beauty. Try not to miss this opportunity while in the capital of Peru. In addition to exhibitions, the school holds free seminars. However, in this regard, it is better to recognize already on the spot, because no plan for such educational activities, alas, no.
