Life Drawing for All

This is a 5 week course in Life Drawing. The course is a mixed ability class open to those with some art or life-class experience or none at all.

New students are welcome and can be given an introduction to drawing from the figure if appropriate to the experience of the individual. Students may take part in taught activities or to use the sessions to develop their life drawing with as much or as little tutorial input as they wish.

Taught activities may explore strategies for representing form, structure and surface qualities, in drawing and painting;  working from tutor-led exercises, demonstrations, group critiques and examples of contemporary and historical art.

The art room is well equipped with a wide range of drawing and painting materials, though students may bring their own if they wish.

Life Drawing is an invaluable way to learn key skills in art. In addition to adults, the course is open to 6th formers and for A Level students it helps build portfolios for examination and college/university entrance.

Martin Kerrison is an artist and teacher with full DBS clearance; a former Head of Art with over 25 years experience in secondary education to A level.
