ARTISTS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME – ALUMNI and other courses
2023-2024
OUTLINE
The Ar�st Development Programme provides �me and space to think and develop your individual work. It is a place to learn and do work with the knowledge, experience and exper�se of a professional ar�st as well as that of the group. It provides individual tutorials, lectures and discussion on pain�ng ideas and �me away to work.
There are 2 long weekends with studio space to study across the year with a seven-day Field Trip in Dale, Pembrokeshire. Plus a tutorials study day in Binsted and Climping Seascapes. The pain�ng of Landscape has �meless values. Landscape can be the source of our best crea�ve endeavours, and it reveals to ourselves and others an experience of being alive within its forces and spaces.
In the School of Landscape Pain�ng we are immersed in the landscape, we study valuable pain�ng processes and tradi�ons that will allow us to give form and expression to our experiences.
Key aims:
-To grow in individual work.
-Deepen a connec�on to landscape.
-Set down a framework within which a group of pain�ngs, drawings and prints can happen.
-Expand and deepen work through the study of landscape, pain�ng language and materials.
-Bring together ar�sts to inform and support.

'In art there are two modes by which men aim at dis�nc�on. In the one, by a careful applica�on to what others have accomplished, the ar�st imitates their works or selects and combines their various beau�es; in the other, he seeks excellence at its primi�ve source - nature. In the first he forms a style upon the study of pictures and produces either imita�ve or eclec�c art; in the second, by a close observa�on of nature, he discovers quali�es exis�ng in her which have never been portrayed before, and thus forms a style which is original. The results of the one mode, as they repeat that with which the eye is already familiar, are soon recognized and es�mated while the advances of the ar�st in a new path must necessarily be slow, for few are able to judge of that which deviates from the usual course or are qualified to appreciate original studies.'
Ruskin- Modern Painters.
'Such is always the mode in which the highest imagina�ve faculty seizes its materials. It never stops at crusts or ashes, or outward images of any kind; it ploughs them all aside, and plunges into the very central fiery heart; nothing else will content its spirituality; whatever semblances and various outward shows and phases its subject may possess go for nothing; it gets within all fences, cuts down to the root, and drinks the very vital sap of that it deals with: once therein, it is at liberty to throw up what new shoots it will, so always that the true juice and sap be in them, and to prune and twist them at its pleasure, and bring them to fairer fruit than grew on the old tree; but all this pruning and twis�ng is work that it likes not, and o�en does ill; its func�on and gi� are the ge�ng at the root, its nature and dignity depend on its holding things always by the heart. Take its hand from off the bea�ng of that, and it will prophesy no longer; it looks not in the eyes, it judges not by the voice, it describes not by outward features; all that it affirms, judges, or describes, it affirms from within.'
This was writen over hundred fi�y years ago 1846.
