Ashmolean MuseumMuseum drawing is a practical course that will ensure you can complete it with more sophisticated artistic skills and a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Ashmolean museum’s wide-ranging collection.
The focus will be on the basics of how to accurately record proportion and shape, mark-making, through the exploration of different drawing materials and tonal techniques that will give your drawings form. We will work from objects selected by the tutor from the Ashmolean collection, following several distinct group exercises which we will bring together in our final studies.
There will be opportunities to draw from artworks first-hand in the museum as well as developing your own creative responses to objects, and resources.

Each week the tutor will take you through a specific planned task, demonstrating and supporting you, one to one. You will need to bring your own basic materials to use in the museum - bulldog clip or masking tape, erasers, and pencils only. Sharpeners must be enclosed or in a plastic bag. There is a cafe for refreshments or bring your own to drink in the designated area downstairs.

Before starting a course, the College is required to check you meet conditions relating to that funding, e.g. age, residency status within the UK/EEA, prior qualification level and employment status. In some circumstances (such as with online enrolments), these checks can only be completed after you have enrolled and paid.

Once enrolled, Admissions will take the first instalment payment from you and pass on your details to the Finance team who will email you to set-up your payment plan. Please return a fully completed instalment plan to Finance as failure to do so could result in being withdrawn from your course.
