This year the Essential School of Painting presents two student exhibitions for the academic 2017-18. The first which this article focuses on is The ESOP 23.4° End of Year Exhibition; a two in one show that will display the work of our two yearlong courses The Bigger Picture and Drawing Outside the Box: A Contemporary Drawing Year.

The Bigger Picture is a painting and mixed media programme designed and taught by Bob and Roberta Smith OBE RA and Johanna Melvin. The course is concerned with thinking about painting in a radically new way and looks at painting as an act undertaken by the artist that has consequences. Over the year the students looked both at the process of painting, surface, colour, form, composition and the subject of painting, the personal and political.

Drawing Outside the Box – Interactive art piece: students engaging the public outside Tate Modern

Drawing Outside the Box is a contemporary Drawing course designed and taught by Jessica Voorsanger and Liane Lang with guest tutors Jessie Brennan, Margarita Gluzberg, Mary Doyle, Roger Malbert and Bob Matthews. The aim of the course is to explore drawing from both a personal and critical perspective. The students have been working on technique, skills and creativity leading to personally selected thematic projects. They have enjoyed gallery visits, group projects and eminent artists and art personalities come to speak to them, full immersive days that have incorporated experimentation, playfulness, technique and discussion.

Drawing Outside the Box artists are

Helen Breach • Darsavini • Munisha Gupta • Simon Head • Dannielle Hodson • Karl Looper • Graham Sowter • Beatrice Wolford
