Why organise life drawing classes outside of school? Having been approached by schools and colleges with a view to providing life drawing classes, we have become aware of the growing demand for life drawing facilities for students 16+. Finding suitable models, large private spaces and easels, equipment and time needed to get the best out of life class can be difficult. Here at Candid we have large studios, facilities and excellent, dynamic teaching staff who have a personal and professional interest in the subject, specialising in teaching a range of life drawing and painting classes at the Trust and also Tate Modern. |

Whats so good about life drawing at CAT? For the past six years, Anne Noble-Partridge and David Price have developed a reputation for providing professional and popular classes for adults at Candid Arts Trust. With our knowledge and experience we have developed a range of drawing and painting classes from the life model. Classes are structured, with technical group demonstrations and emphasis on informal one to one tuition. Students are encouraged to use our technical imput to experiment develop their own style and approach. Life drawing is a great discipline for all levels of ability - we provide the chance to study human form in open, informative, inclusive environment. Life drawing is an ideal vehicle through which to provide excellent basic drawing skills. The human form is a great subject to study 3D form, tone, line, movement, structure, composition, proportion, perspective and colour, all of which are addressed in our classes. The general classes we teach are good introduction to experimental drawing, using a range of different techniques and materials. Drawings produced are good for portfolio building for art foundation courses and a wide range of art and design subjects including computer animation, fine art and fashion. |

Comments: " I
could see my students perform in an adult way, due I
believe, to the environment and fast pace of the day. The
tutorials and demonstrations were fantastic as it really
focused the students"
" The
class was very helpful. I felt by the end I had improved a
lot, it helped for building my portfolio as the London
College of Fashion were very impressed that I had these
drawings and experience."
"
Different teachers can give you different advice on your
work. I thought their enthusiasm and passion rubbed off on
each of us and made us more comfortable as no-one had drawn
a naked model before. I think the demonstrations before the
drawing helped us progress."
"
Everyone behaves more maturely and you don't get as many
disruptions as you would if you were at school. You get more
help from the practicing artists and tutors. I also felt
more comfortable in a different place. They had a very
approachable enthusiastic way of teaching, which put
everyone's nerves at ease making it a lot more enjoyable.
The personal guidance whilst we were drawing made it much
easier and they were very helpful- not patronising."
" It was
very helpful, after the course my understanding on the
structure of the body and use of lighting was much better
making it easier to draw realistically." |
