A summer school at the National Gallery that provides a great pathway to a career in the art world.
About
Situated in London's West End, the National Gallery is at the heart of London's cultural hub and boasts one of the most outstanding collections of western European painting in the world. Where better to learn about the development of art from the 1300s to 1900 than here during this week-long summer school?
Over the course of a week, this introduction to painting provides a sustained and rich opportunity to see works by outstanding artists, to discover the development of painting techniques, to acquire an understanding of artists' subject matter and to learn more about the purpose of different paintings.
You will have the opportunity to hear from Gallery experts and educators and participate in learning sessions just a few steps away from the paintings themselves.
Sessions consist of illustrated presentations and case studies with some discussion in front of key paintings. This course is intended as an introduction to Western European painting and will familiarise you with works by artists includingTitian, Rembrandt, Caravaggio and Monet.
