The Royal Academy Schools

 

Life drawing is a way of getting to know the Classical in Art. As once practiced at the Royal Academy Schools, it establishes a unique methodology, de-constructing expectations and fixed ideas about drawing.

The Royal Academy Schools offer Europe’s only three year Post-graduate course in Fine Art. The practice of drawing from the nude, in the European Academic tradition, was upheld until recent years.

Alan Dedman studied there whilst it was compulsory to draw from the nude for the whole of the first year.
