Primary and secondary RA, in-school and outreach workshops are supported by Boeing.
Welcome to the New RA royalacademy.org.uk In May 2018 we opened an expanded RA campus with wonderful new facilities for students and teachers. New spaces and exhibits put the spotlight on how art is made. Displays in the Vaults underneath the RA’s Main Galleries show how artists in the past learned to draw at the RA by copying casts and studying anatomy. Curated shows of work by current post-graduate students in the RA Schools are on view in the new Weston Studio. Upstairs in Burlington Gardens, paintings, drawings and casts of ancient sculptures in our Collection Gallery illuminate the RA’s beginnings in the late 1700s. When your students come to the RA, they are artists and we provide them with space to explore and experiment. All our workshops will now take place in the Clore Learning Centre, a purpose-built studio space with double-height ceilings and abundant natural light. Tours, visits and workshops for students bring our ambitious programme of exhibitions to life. In January 2019 we are offering workshops for primary and secondary schools and FE colleges focusing on themes from our Collection – portraiture and self-portraiture, sketchbooks and working from 2D to 3D. Our school workshops now extend into the summer term, giving more time for you and your students to visit. And we invite you, teachers, to enjoy our private views, workshops and evening studios just for teachers and explore all the rich resources at the RA. ‘It is the best thing our children can do outside of the classroom all year’ Teacher, London primary Photo © Roy Matthews school
