The Heatherley School of Fine Art's Blurbs |
About me:
Founded in 1845, Heatherley's is the oldest independent Art School in London and is among the few Art Colleges in Britain that focus purely on portraiture, figurative painting and sculpture.
From small beginnings, Heatherley's has over the years expanded to offer a diploma in Portrait painting, a diploma in figurative sculpture and a one year continuing studies / portfolio programme. Alongside these full time courses Heatherley's run thirty part time courses ranging in subject from Life Drawing, to Oil Painting, Watercolour, and Printmaking. During the Summer months we offer a series of holiday courses lasting five days each and taught (as all our courses are) by experienced tutors who are all practicing artists.
Among those artists that were taught by the first Principal of Heatherleys (James Matthews Leigh) and subsequent Principals were Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Sir John Everett Millais, Sir William Russell Flint, Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, Henry Moore, Walter Richard Sickert and the illustrator of Wind in the Willows and Winne the Pooh, E H Shepard.
The principles set out by Leigh and kept alive by his successors are still the principles upon which Heatherley's now runs. Whilst teaching traditional techniques, tutors encourage students to find their own voices and apply what they have been taught to their own ends. The work our students produce ranges greatly in form and style: from iconography to abstract sculpture, from classically inspired bronze and marble figures to contemporary oil paintings. Our end of year exhibitions in June and July for the full - and part - time students give us an opportunity to show off the work they have done during the year and attract large numbers of visitors from all over the world.
Heatherley's is now based in the heart of Chelsea, London just off the Kings Road where the studios are brimming with students and each class is as industrious as Leigh’s own were in 1845.
