Royal Drawing School’s “The Drawing Gap” gap year program is a 12-week, full-time intensive drawing course designed for a small cohort of students who want to develop foundational creative skills and their powers of visual reasoning. Students will broaden their creativity and problem-solving skills, while immersed in the fine art course, covering everything from painting to printmaking, sculpture, and more.

This structured, practice-led course has been created to build student’s confidence in visual literacy, and to stimulate links between the arts and other disciplines, preparing students for university and professional life.

What students get out of it:

Learn foundational skills-based drawing techniques from an experienced faculty
Join a diverse but small cohort of students
Have space to decide where you want to take your further education or professional development
Choose courses from a wide range of mediums, including drawing into painting, sculpture, illustration and printmaking
Cultivate your personal sense of creativity and problem-solving abilities
Apply your visual analytical skill to other disciplines
Develop visual knowledge by building your own syllabus from a wide array of classes – Interrogate our complex visual world and explore diverse viewpoints

Which students is this right for?

High school graduates or school leavers who are unresolved about their future path (but may want to explore the visual arts)
Students who already have a confirmed place at university, but want a unique and creative gap year in between
Those who have a job or apprenticeship lined up, but perhaps believe an a visual arts exploration would be helpful
Those who wanted to study art at school but prioritized other subjects
