VIRTUAL ART CLASSES FROM THE ST IVES SCHOOL OF PAINTING The world-renowned St Ives School of Painting has been streaming live art tuition classes to wide acclaim as those stuck in worldwide lockdowns have made the most of the creative outlet. Introduced last year when the pandemic meant the iconic art school could no longer hold traditional face to face classes, the online courses have proven to be incredibly popular with eager art enthusiasts who have enjoyed learning and practicing with the likes of expert tutors such as Alice Mumford, Kerry Harding and Gary Long holding classes specialising in various art mediums. There’s a wide range available to suit all abilities, ages and preferences. For example, there’s the newly launched Sunday family painting workshop, priced from just £10, as well as a two-hour life drawing session at £12. All participants can access recording after the course has ended and feedback on content and structure is welcomed. With an 80 year legacy under its belt, the St Ives School of Painting has shown fierce resilience in the challenging circumstances as it adapts and diversifies to reach new and wider audiences. Until a time when members, students and artists can be welcomed back into the historic studios once more, this creative alternative is proving a popular hit amongst its varied participants. l To find a class to suit you or try your hand a life drawing and more, visit www.schoolofpainting.co.uk/courses n 82 |
