Life drawing

​

Each session trains students in both working fast and loose with short poses, and working slowly and methodically with long poses. Each class also features a unique exercise or anatomical discussion, relating to the theme of the term. We work with the best models in the region, and have a relaxed, supportive and welcoming atmosphere.

​

Observational approach

​

A series of classes which use exercises from The Natural Way to Draw by Kimon Nikolaïdes, training visual memory, expressiveness and understanding of form.

​

Anatomical approach

​

A series of classes which use anatomical models and close observational drawing to understand the skeleton and muscles of the human body, how they work and look.

​

Who is it for?

​

These classes will be useful for anybody from absolute beginners to working artistic professionals. With a dojo-like attitude to learning, which emphasises students taking a focused approach to the task at hand and developing skillful technique, TAA welcomes anybody who has an interest in putting in work to improve their artistic skills.

​

Life modelling

​

We take great care to ensure a positive, safe and encouraging atmosphere for our life models, including training and advice where appropriate. All of our past models have found it to be a rewarding experience. If you think life modelling is something you might be interested in, please get in contact and we will give you more details.
