THE EDINBURGH DRAWING SCHOOL
Edinburgh's original independent art school
Drawing the Clothed Figure
with artist and tutor Siri France Wednesday 16th and Thursday 17th August 10am - 4pm
Service Description
In this two day class, students can develop their skills in drawing under the guidance of artist and tutor Siri France who has a wealth of experience in figure drawing and is an established artist and tutor. This course will give us experience of drawing the clothed figure. We will try short active poses to loosen up and capture gesture, and longer seated ones to work with tone, line and composition. Studying the work of relevant artists such as Degas and Diebenkorn will help us to think carefully about both the quality of our markmaking, but also how the figure fits into our overall composition. Our classes are small, which means that there is plenty of one on one time with the tutor and students don't get 'lost' in a large group. The aim of this class is to give those the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of building blocks of drawing in a fun and friendly environment. Materials List White and toned paper Pencils (2b to 8b) Rubber and putty rubber Willow charcoal Charcoal pencil

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.
