Overview

Drawing and exploring the living city allows us to express ideas and feelings about where we live. Sometimes interior locations will have a direct relationship to the exterior environment, such as concert halls, theatres or railway stations.  

The nocturnal London scene is in constant motion, challenging students to capture its rhythm in images with a sense of place. Students taking this course are recommended to have taken drawing courses before.   

Who is it for

Suitable for artists and creatives of all abilities, though some drawing experience is recommended.
