Service Description
6th July - 10th August, Mondays 5-6pm (We will meet online together on Padlet, instructions sent to parents upon signing up) Missed a class? No problem we will send you a follow up Dive into this 6 week immersive course online with EDS director Alicia Coombs, as we explore artworks together which evoke the senses, sights and sounds of 'summer'! Children go on to make their own artwork during the following week taking inspiration from their online lessons linked to our weekly themes of summer. The choice of mediums you can use are water soluble oil pastel, dry pastel or watercolour, in addition to your staple bundle of sketchbook, pencils and coloured pencils / watercolour pencils, eraser and sharpener.... the choice is yours! You may also choose all three mediums to work with if you wish. These mediums are highly portable for your travels whether you are in Edinburgh or find yourself abroad on summer holidays. We will show our fellow students at the start of the each lesson what we made during the week. Supported by Alicia, and our community support of each other, we will grow as mini master artists! If you prefer to not show your work it is also totally ok, and you can e-mail it instead to the school, while observing the show and tell of the others. You never know, you may feel ready by the end of the course to share your work with the rest of the group, but there is also no pressure to whatsoever if you prefer not to. Additionally, if for that one week you did spend all seven days swimming in the pool with your pink flamingo... we will let you off !!! The themes we will explore are: Week 1 - 6th July 'Through a Window' Artwork - 'Glorious View, St Ives' by Jonanne Short Week 2 - 13th July 'Sunlight on Buildings' Artwork - 'Rooms by the Sea, 1951' Edward Hopper Week 3 - 20th July 'At the Beach' Artwork - 'Ombres reflectides' de Lluís Masriera 1872 Week 4 - 27th July ’Self Portraits in Summer Hats’ Artwork: 'Self Portrait with a Straw Hat’ Vincent Van Gogh 1887 Week 5 - 3rd August ' Swimming Pools and Paintings of Water' Artwork: 'Pool Made with Paper and Blue Ink for Book' David Hockney 1980 Week 6: 10th August ‘Windey Road into the Distance’ Artwork: Garrowby Hill, by David Hockney 1988 By the end you will have a lovely sketchbook full of summer ideas!

Additionally, if you withdraw for any reason after the course has started you will not be entitled to a refund. We are a small business and we depend on every booking to ensure that classes can go ahead. If a tutor has to withdraw from teaching the scheduled course for any reason (medical/personal/professional) before the start of a scheduled course, during a scheduled course, if the course is 8 weeks long or scheduled as x3 terms of 8 weeks long each, The Edinburgh Drawing School will find a replacement tutor for the course designed by that tutor for 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. If a student is unable to attend a class due to medical/personal/professional reasons, then EDS must be informed immediately so that the tutor can be notified. If you are missing a class because you suspect that you have developed Covid-19, please let us know immediately so that we can alert fellow student and tutors. 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.
