Well all I really remember as an impression is they do at least a year of rigorous cast drawing studies, at the threat of a wip, before they are elegible to learn color and classical painting techniques with equal intensity and harsh critiques.

I don't know if I heard this correctly, but I would not be surprised. My Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts seemed half as rigourous at the time I attended, so in a way I could relate to what he was telling me.
