Young Associates: Royal Drawing School Shoreditch Aged 15 - 18

Young Associates are open to young people aged 15 - 18 (those in school years 10 - 13) who have a passion for drawing and a desire to improve their skills. Taught by professional practicing artists, the weekly class will lead students through a range of observational drawing exercises to create a portfolio of high-quality work.  

At the Royal Drawing School in Shoreditch students will draw in our dedicated fourth floor studio space where there is access to the full range of wet and dry materials.

During the course of the term students will draw from clothed models, still life set-ups and on occasion work outside.  All materials for classes are supplied.


The school is committed to making all courses offered affordable and available to those who have a passion and aptitude for drawing. Therefore we offer a number of 50% and 100% means-tested scholarships for each course. We welcome applications to the Young Associates from all young people with a talent and passion for drawing who are able to commit to regular attendance.
