Young Associates: Islington Aged 15 - 18

Young Associates After School Programme

The Royal Drawing School is launching a new mid-week, full-scholarship programme to support those aged 15-18 (in school years 10 - 13) taking GCSE Art, A-Level Art, and other creative courses during their education.

The weekly class is taught by professional practicing artists, who will guide you through a range of observational drawing exercises. During the term you will draw from clothed and unclothed models, still life set-ups, draw outside, and work collaboratively with your peers. 

All materials for classes are supplied.

You will learn skills that allow you to explore your creativity outside the curriculum while building a portfolio of high-quality work that supports your progress in Arts Education.

This programme is designed to complement your studies over a whole academic year. We encourage students to sign up for the whole year, and we will automatically re-enrol you each term. You are, of course, welcome to leave the programme at any time if your priorities change. 

This course will take place at Cass Arts in Islington on Tuesdays, 4.30–6.30pm.

Current Term Dates:

• Autumn Term 2022: 20 September, 27 September, 4 October, 11 October, 18 October, 25 October, 1 November, 8 November, 15 November and 22 November.
