The Classroom
​

"The art of seeing might have to be learned, but it can never be unlearned, just as the seen itself can never be unseen — a realization at once immensely demanding in its immutability and endlessly liberating in the possibilities it invites."  Alexandra Horowitz


Welcome to the Drawing Escapes classroom. We have 3 types of video online learning resources - workshops, demonstrations and projects.

The workshops take you through core drawing strategies and are based on short University lectures.

The demonstrations are just that! They show you how to do and understand certain processes that relate to drawing, and are generally of a more technical nature.

The projects are set to challenge you with specific tasks with specific learning outcomes, in order to advance your drawing skills and methods.

​ Click a task below and sign up for a challenge!​ Classes are £15 each and £10 if you've been on a trip.

Demonstration - Mark-making part 2   

Part 2 of the mark-making focusses more on the sensual act of drawing without reference to any external subject matter. You do need to have completed part 1 of the mark-making first.

In this demonstration we develop the drawing into colour.
