The method of teaching art that emphasizes naturalism is often referred to as the "academic approach" or "classical art training." This method focuses on the accurate representation of subjects, particularly in terms of anatomy, proportion, and perspective, drawing from observation of the natural world. Students learn to render lifelike images by studying live models, anatomy, and the principles of light and shadow. Naturalism in art seeks to evoke a realistic experience for the viewer, encouraging attention to detail and an understanding of the interplay between forms and their environments.
