exhibition archive The Discerning Eye Exhibition 2004 13th exhibition ~ 18 to 28 November 2004  THE PRINCE'S DRAWING SCHOOL In four years The Prince's Drawing School has established itself as a lively and unique institution, the only art school in the UK to concentrate on drawing. Its main aim is to teach drawing to young artists who may have had little or no drawing teaching at art school. This is achieved through the MA level programme, the Drawing Year. The Drawing School is an independent educational charity set up by HRH The Prince of Wales in 2000 for students from all backgrounds. It offers 30 courses a week with an average of 500 students each term, including children from inner city secondary schools. The teaching studios are in a converted warehouse in Shoreditch, one of London's liveliest cultural quarters, but courses are also conducted in galleries and in the open air.Throughout the year there are exhibitions of student and faculty work both at the School and in galleries around the UK. A highlight is the Drawing Year's end-of-year show during September and October. Prizes are awarded to students on the strength of their work in this exhibition. In 2003 the top prize was the The Discerning Eye travel award, given to former BP Portrait Award winner Stuart Pearson-Wright. Stuart is using the Discerning Eye £1000 prize to travel to Sri Lanka, focusing on the work which he finds inspiring - sculpture, mask making and two dimensional pieces.The Prince's Drawing School is delighted to be associated with the Discerning Eye.
