The Art Society is here to encourage our members to pursue their artistic interests outside of an art school environment. We think that the appreciation and creation of art should not be restricted to those who choose to pursue an artistic education over an academic one. As SOAS is such a culturally diverse environment, exploring art from beyond one’s own cultural sphere gives the opportunity to develop creatively in a non euro-centric atmosphere.
The Art Society is new to the SU, but here are a few of our goals for our first year:
- Life drawing sessions
- Gallery trips to both obvious and obscure collections
- Art related discussions and debates
- Technical and critical advice for our members who produce their own art work
- Design and create murals for the SU common spaces
- Exhibit members’ art work in an end of year show
