The Discipline of Drawing offers students an introduction to the cornerstones of good drawing; the core concepts, practical techniques and skills which equip a draughts-person with the visual language through which they communicate.

In a disciplined and contemplative environment, students will follow a programme grounded upon the traditions of the Old Masters, following the ethos of rigour and dedication seen in traditional academies.

Across several terms, a programme of challenging and enjoyable exercises will teach students not only how to draw, but importantly – how to see. Careful observation and consideration, essential to dealing with visual problems, are cultivated through copying; the standard mode of learning throughout the history of art.

12 weeks | Total: 36 hours (3 hours per week, 10am – 1pm or 6.30pm – 9.30pm available) | newcomer/refresher / all levels | Price: €485 | Use of all materials included. *Terms & Conditions apply

This foundation course provides a comprehensive introduction to the cornerstones of drawing over 12 informative, challenging yet enjoyable weeks. It is suitable for beginners, students and professionals alike who wish to sharpen their eyes and improve their technical ability. Grounded upon the traditional practice of copying, central to workshops, ateliers and academies throughout history, students will develop their skill and technique by drawing prints from the renowned nineteenth-century course, the Cours de Dessin by Charles Bargue and Jean-Léon Gérôme – just as artists such as Picasso and Van Gogh did. They will also be guided through a series of supplementary exercises designed to cultivate particular skills and techniques, from simple line control to advanced shading.

This course will guide students, step-by-step, through various stages of progression, beginning with the rudimentary essentials of observation, visualisation of angles and proportions, handling of materials and strategies for simplification; before advancing to lessons in light, shadow, form and volume, exploring how these elements may be used to represent relief on a two dimensional surface.

The lessons learned on this course can be applied in a variety of professional fields, such as; design, architecture, animation, illustration, fashion, photography, film and beyond.

Upon completion of Part I, Foundation, students may continue to Part II, Practice. During this 12-week course, students have the opportunity to spend time cultivating and improving upon the skills they have learned through repeated application and practice of their craft, under the guidance of a tutor. This popular course follows a similar format to that of a traditional atelier, allowing students to work more independently on their projects, with direction in the form of one-to-one critiques.

Students benefit from their tutors’ feedback and from the structured classroom environment which facilitates regular, committed practice. With access to a specially curated selection of The Drawing Studio’s high-quality prints*, chosen by our instructors, students will be guided as to which subjects are most suitable for their level of ability.

*Notes on the Collection: The Drawing Studio is home to an expansive and growing collection of original academic drawings, high-quality prints, and plaster casts spanning the canon of classical antiquity.

My daughter took art classes with Martina and absolutely love it. Great teacher - the children make real art - none of the colouring in photocopies stuff - she actually teaches them to draw and paint! Highly recommended.
