One-year Renaissance Drawing Apprenticeship Online

“You have honed a great teaching style that is transformational as witnessed by the phenomenal progress everyone makes – strong academic content balanced by relevant practical activities presented in ways that empathetically engage an incredibly wide range of learners from across the globe, logically scaffolded to ensure we build skill, knowledge, understanding and confidence as well and pure enjoyment, with positive and supportive individualisation and feedback. How you manage to do that for such as vast number of students I don’t know, but you have a handle on each and every one. Whatever you do, don’t stop!”

“A revelation. Something magical happens in the class, we come away inspired and uplifted. The Renaissance Workshop classes have opened up an extraordinary journey of creativity and adventure for me. They have opened my eyes to seeing and enjoying art in a way I could not have imagined. The classes are an intellectual and emotional voyage of insight into our potential – for all of us, no matter what talent we have, or if we feel we have none – everyone in the class experiences the excitement of encountering and expressing our inner worlds and exploring great art.

“The commitment to Renaissance methods of drawing underpins the classes, and Jon is hugely erudite, but it is his insight into the creative process and what inspires us – our personal inner journey to art – that makes the classes wonderful and meaningful.“

Sal Anderson, Reader, University of the Arts London
