This two-week course will introduce you to a range of contemporary approaches to composing a portrait painting.
You'll explore alternative approaches and ideas about portraiture, while still referring to the more formal visual language connected with a more traditional understanding of the genre.
The course runs from 9.30am to 4.30pm each day. You'll also have the option of attending extra-curricular events such as talks and exhibitions on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
This course is part of the annual summer school run by the Slade School of Fine Art at UCL.

Course programme

  • You'll be encouraged and supported to evolve your own independent practice and discover new processes in order to create new work.
  • You'll be drawing directly from the head initially, developing a solid formal basis and increasing your perceptual awareness through a sequence of studies.
  • This will lead into workshops run by invited artists, representing current and diverse approaches to portraiture. You'll learn about the processes that have inspired and informed the artists' own practices.
  • There will also be regular slide talks and discussions to give a wider context to the work made in the studio.
