Heatherley's School of Art
75 Lots Rd, Chelsea, London SW10 ORN
Drawing from the antique has all but disappeared from the modern art school curriculum but drawing from classical casts can still be a useful activity when learning to draw and paint from life; not only are they beautiful objects in their own right, their formal complexity and subtlety make for very challenging and fascinating subject matter.
This workshop will use as it’s starting point the classical casts dotted around Heatherley’s School of Art and students can opt to make either drawings or paintings.
