Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5


Level 1 - Apprentice  <top>
In the traditional artist guild, this is the beginning level.  The focus is on introducing the common flower forms in simple compositions.  No previous Zhostovo experience is required, but an intermediate knowledge of decorative painting techniques is necessary, as they will not be covered in class.  The certification piece will require painting a relatively simple flower composition using the stage worksheets.    Level 1 Projects
 

Level 2 - Associate  <top>
The Associate Level focuses on roses and more complex floral compositions, anticipating familiarity with the Apprentice techniques.  The purpose of this level is to perfect the skills already learned.  The certification project will require painting a more complex floral composition using the stage worksheets.    Level 2 Projects
 

Level 3 - Journeyman  <top>
The traditional step in preparation for the Master Level, the Journeyman Level builds on the previous techniques and introduces Zhostovo fruit techniques and compositions.  The certification project will require painting a fruit composition based only on the final stage worksheet.    Level 3 Projects
 

Level 4 - Senior Journeyman  <top>
The Senior Journeyman Level requires mastery of the basic Zhostovo floral and fruit techniques covered in the previous levels and addresses more complex compositions, the painting of birds and specialized techniques.  The Senior Journeyman project will require painting a composition from a line drawing and palette description.    Level 4 Projects
 

Level 5 - Master Painter  <top>
The Master Painter Level focuses on painting animals and scenery.  The final project will require painting a composition from a line drawing.    Level 5 Projects
