Note 3 — PRIVILEGES GRANTED TO STUDENTS

By royal decrees of August and December, 1893, this institution was reorganized. The section of the fine arts was separated from the professional school of arts and crafts, and the superior school of painting, sculpture, and engraving was created. Teaching was amplified, and instruction given in various art subjects, including color composition modeling, and drawing from the antique and from nature, including figure drawing.3 This academy was supported from local funds, a small part being contributed from the general budget. There were no enrolments or academic courses, and hence, no examinations. The pupils could attend as many years as they wished.4 After its reorganization in 1893, the general attendance was from 200 to 300, and in spite of the poor instruction, some good work was done.5
