THE EDINBURGH DRAWING SCHOOL
Edinburgh's original independent art school
Children's Drawing: Famous Paintings
with artist and tutor Reggie P Baxter Wednesdays 4.30pm - 6pm
Service Description
Exploring famous artists for kids is lots of fun and a great opportunity to expose them to new art processes and techniques, as well as teaching kids about art history. Children will do different forms of activities each week (using a variety of mediums) whilst being inspired by works of famous artists. Activities: - Recreate Van Gogh’s ‘The Starry Night’ using different types of paint - Collage/cutouts in the style of Henri Matisse. Inspiration from his works suchnas ‘La Tristesse du Roi’ - Make your own pop art like Andy Warhol’s ‘The Complete Athlete Series’. Using several paper copies (in black & white) of a child’s photo, they will paint, colour or add other subjects/background to their work. - Use oil pastels to draw flowers like Georgia O’Keeffe’s ‘Red Poppy’ - Abstract splat painting like Jackson Pollock’s ‘Number 8’ - Collage to recreate Pablo Picasso’s ‘Three Musicians’ or any of his famous face/figure paintings - Make your own version of Katsushika Hokusai ‘The Great Wave’ - Create an artwork like Edvard Munch’s ‘The Scream’. If possible, use the child’s face. - Paint a landscape scene like David Hockney’s ‘Nichol Canyon’ All materials provided. Reggie holds a master’s degree in Art Business (with Merit) from Sotheby’s Institute of Art and a masters degree in Art History from La Salle-SIA College of Arts, Singapore. She moved to London in 2019, and enjoyed partaking in many art courses during this sabbatical, before moving to Edinburgh where we are lucky enough to welcome her as a member of staff to work with the children at The Edinburgh Drawing School.

The course content will be the same as the originally booked course. A student will not be entitled to a refund should the school have no option but to find a replacement tutor. If a tutor leaves and starts work elsewhere, and a student prefers to take classes with them personally at the tutor's new workplace, that is at the discretion of the student and no refund is entitled to them or will be given.

Non-attendance of classes/workshops does not automatically mean a refund, however EDS will assess the circumstance If a tutor cannot teach a class due to illness, the scheduled class will be covered by another tutor or the class will be postponed and rescheduled for the following week at the same time on the same day of the week. Make up classes are scheduled during the half term week, or in the week following the end of term. The Edinburgh Drawing School runs 8 week terms of scheduled classes, 9 weeks if including the half term and then 10 weeks to include a week at the end of term for any necessary make up classes. Thus, the business always completes it's contractual obligations of 8 scheduled classes to booked students. If a student cannot attend a make up class, no refund is due.
