What do pupils think of the Outreach Programme?

"It was a great experience and I’d love to do it again"
- Amberfield School

It challenges pre-conceived ideas about drawing, opening up fresh ways of looking and thinking

  • "I have discovered new ways (out of the box ways) of approaching drawing and have found renewed enthusiasm in simple drawing." - Guernsey Grammar School
  • "A greater readiness to use different techniques in my drawing, to move away from a simple outline." - Trinity RC High
  • "A release from some of the inhibitions which I used to feel when drawing. The day really put emphasis on form and mess and not line - I think this influence will become apparent in my work." - Sherborne School for Girls
  • "I realised that even quick sketches of figures can look good. I would normally spend ages trying to get something perfect but it doesn’t have to be." - Abbey College
