Whilst many are in isolation we wanted to share our ideas for inspiration with short daily video prompts - one for children, one for adults. Here is the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrWR7ELGBDs&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR2WjOCJZk_EZfwOkH4OqMeD95kEY-uUeL9G_vXpLvUT1kL0XotDZW6yWjU     If you go to YouTube and search Damian Callan or Aine Divine the videos will come up If you would like to receive daily videos  please send an email with '14 Days' in the subject box to: damian.callan@gmail.com & aine@divineportraits.co.uk Edinburgh Drawing School For details of courses etc. click here ONLINE CLASSES AT THE EDINBURGH DRAWING SCHOOL Thank you for your patience as we figure out a way through this difficult time. We are so grateful for the amazing and supportive emails which have already come in from students, and we are reminded how much of a fine and enthusiastic community we have here at The Edinburgh Drawing School.  We're all in this together and finding our feet collectively, and we're all navigating this crash course in imposed 'agile working'! Tutors are finding new ways of delivering their classes and teaching using various online platforms, so Spring Term II will become a small offering of carefully curated/merged courses, suitable for delivering online, hosted by a selection of your favourite tutors.  We will be allowing a fair degree of flexibility for each tutor to find their own best practice and way of working with you, a combination of webinar discussions, artist video demonstrations, group critiques on Zoom or similar, and one-to-one feedback sessions via both email and/or video calls.  The condensed offering of Spring Term II courses will cover a wide range of subjects, so if it's not the exact course you have signed up for, then it will be a good approximation of it, and of course there will still be children's courses in there too.
