Over the year students attending different classes at The ESOP have been involved with a variety of programmes from painting personal projects, portraiture, working with the human figure and imagination, and studying the history of Painting Techniques amongst other things. They have also spent time outdoors doing landscape paintings, visiting eminent artists and art institutions like the V&A. This exhibition presents their work and their journeys of self-discovery as students of art. The students in this exhibition come from all levels of experience from beginners to proficient professional artists.
The courses included:-
