ART ACADEMY LONDON
Art Academy London was founded in 2000 by professional sculptor Tanya Russell (September 1968-) as The Sculpture Academy and Tanya ran the school until 2017. It started in Southwark, central London, to fill a gap in traditional, skills-based art teaching by using a classic atelier training. The Art Academy blended skills-based art education with contemporary processes and theory to help students produce a rich, sustainable practice. Their unique hands-on teaching approach offered the highest number of contact hours of any higher education art school in the UK across their academic courses. They offered art courses for all levels of skill and need, from a B.A. or Foundation Degree, to evening, weekend, and short courses. They also provided support with bursaries and special education needs, and their community outreach programmes help make art education accessible in Southwark and the surrounding area. They moved to a prestigious new building, Triptych adjacent to Tate Modern forming a part of London’s Triptych Bankside development. Art Academy London was approved by The Open University as an appropriate organisation to offer higher education programmes leading to Open University validated awards. Tutors included Perienne Christian and Frederic Morris and Suffolk artist students who studied at Art Academy London included Helen Bartholomew and Janine Reeves.
