WELCOME
TO THE ART ACADEMY
Welcome to the Art Academy! We are a small, independent art school founded in 2000, offering a unique approach to fine art education in the very heart of Central London. We offer a range of art education programmes for all ages and for all skill levels.
Whether you are looking to become a professional artist or you just want to develop your artistic skills in your spare time, we can offer the finest quality art tuition to suit your needs and to support your artistic development.
If you choose to study on a long course with us, we will provide you with some of the highest contact hours with professional tutors on offer in the UK. We will help you balance the acquisition of technical skills, creative expression and the development of critical insight so that you can find your own voice and visual language to enable you to realise your ideas. We have high standards with a robust but positive and critical approach.
We’re a warm energetic community of artists and offer a supportive environment where we’ll nurture you whilst constantly challenging and stretching you to become the best artist you can be.
Rob Pepper
Principal
I started the Art Academy as I believe so passionately in putting skills training at the heart of contemporary fine art education. And who better to teach those skills than practising artists?
We offer tuition across a wide range of disciplines in small classes. Tuition is by inspiring, highly skilled working artists, many pre-eminent in their fields. From the outset and to this day our courses are tailored to the individual needs of our students, whether they’re studying full time or part time, on long or short courses, evenings, weekends or during the holidays.
Many of our artist/tutors have been with us for numerous years and former students often drop in to refresh their skills. The Art Academy is a thriving art community that’s friendly and welcoming and never stands still.
