DRAWING LIFE: AN ONLINE & IRL DRAWING COMMUNITY

While away from LCC Mark Henson Dupuy decided that LCC Design School needed a Life Drawing society again, giving all students a weekly opportunity to develop their observation skills. This has lead to United Models, a vibrant online life drawing community which has flourished during the pandemic.

“Many students at UAL are disappointed to find minimal life drawing provision. If you're studying Fine Art, Animation, Illustration, or Sculpture, drawing is a fundamental part of your practice, and it's essential to draw regularly to improve your eye and hand. Whether you're just starting out, or you are already an accomplished draughtsman, the Life Drawing Society provides regular access to tutored life drawing sessions. Students can expect to draw from nude models representing the full and fantastic diversity of the human body.

Anybody who's been to a life drawing class before knows you can expect to pay around £35 for a single 2 hour tutored session. The total value of a yearly membership to this society could be in excess of £5,000, making it the best value tutored life drawing in the whole of London. By clubbing together and using membership fees we're able to offer this for just £35 a year. It's a fantastic deal and one that many students in UAL take advantage of. That's why we're UAL's biggest society!
