American Academy of Fine Arts (aafa) was an art studio founded in 2013 in Virginia, not only to encourage appreciation and teaching of the classical style, but also to encourage exploration of new technologies and imaginations. Even for talented artists, there are no shortcuts for getting a proper foundational education in the traditional methods. At aafa, young artists will learn the fundamentals of art, enrich the sense of art, identify with one another, expands the notion of we, and shows that individual engagement in the world has actual consequences.
