  • Contemporary & Post-War Art (474) Lot
    Contemporary & Post-War Art (474) Thu, 18th Aug 2016, Edinburgh Lot 132 Estimate: £3000 - £5000 + Fees § ALEXANDER GOUDIE R.P., R.G.I. (SCOTTISH 1933- 2004) ROYAL OPERA HOUSE Signed, oil on canvas 48cm x 86cm (19in x 34in) Note: 'I have always lived through my art and in a sense to really taste life to the full I am obliged to put a line around it. Since early childhood this has been my lot, everything which excited my imagination had to be set down in pictorial terms, a magic world where a different language helps explore and explain as well as heighten the experience of living.' And so Alexander Goudie outlines his understanding of art, as an all-pervasive force that allowed him to fully engage in life and all that it had to offer. It is no surprise, then, that Goudie painted across genres, found inspiration in music and literature as well as visual experience, was keen to collaborate on projects in different spheres, and remained a dedicated dandy. After training at Glasgow School of Art, he spent time travelling in Europe on a scholarship, where he encountered art that inspired him, as well as being to his taste, by artists like Rodin and Courbet. He liked to see, and attempt, mastery in painting but in a more conventional way; remaining uninspired by 20th century artistic movements, such as cubism or futurism. He has been described as 'an old- fashioned painter,' and for a man who felt that his job as an artist was 'to simply to tell a story in pictures and to speak with a clear voice,' presumably this was a compliment.

  • Principal Job Pack
    The Leith School of Art 25 North Junction Street Edinburgh EH6 6HW Telephone: 0131 554 5761 Web: www.LeithSchoolofArt.co.uk Email: [email protected] Leith School of Art – appointment of Principal A welcome from the Chair of the Board of Directors Thank you for your interest in Leith School of Art and in our search for a new Principal. As you delve into the following pages I hope you will gain a sense of what makes Leith School of Art unique and this vacancy so special. Leith School of Art is held in great respect by artists far and wide and in genuine affection by all who are associated with it. Leith means a great deal in different ways to different people of course, but if two things stand out it is the excellence of the teaching and the sense of community and support that surrounds it. There are many who can describe the experience of studying at Leith as life-changing, whether as a springboard to an artistic career or privately as a way to find, or rediscover, fulfilment, self-connection and expression. Our means-tested Assisted Places and Community Classes open the door to many for whom the opportunity to learn about art and design would be beyond reach on cost grounds. With the forthcoming retirement of our current Principal, we are at a highly significant transition in the story of Leith School of Art, and this is a very exciting opportunity for an artist with a passion and vision for art education to play a leading role in shaping the next chapter.

  • Education Scotland Report June 2016
    Review of private Further Education colleges and English Language Schools Leith School of Art 1 June 2016 The review process This review report follows the quality framework for the review arrangements for private further education colleges and English language Schools in Scotland, April 2012. The review normally lasts for three days. Over the three-day period, the review team: engage with learners; observe episodes of learning and teaching and provide feedback to each member of teaching staff or other learning facilitator on strengths and areas for further development; conduct interviews and undertake other activity required to determine the extent of concordance between documentary evidence and practice; evaluate evidence against the 11 reference quality indicators; and identify key strengths and areas for further development for the organisation. Education Scotland is an approved educational oversight body authorised by the Home Office to inspect private further education colleges and English language Schools in Scotland. Reviews are arranged under three high-level questions which Education Scotland is adopting for evaluative purposes: How well are learners progressing and achieving relevant, high quality outcomes? How effective are the organisation’s learning and teaching processes? How effective are the organisation’s leadership and quality culture? Education Scotland reviews are designed to: support and promote quality enhancement in organisations to provide the best possible experience for the learner; provide information to the Home Office, when required, on the quality of organisations and the learning experience they provide; provide an independent evaluation to assist organisations in informing prospective and current learners of the quality of the organisation’s and services; evaluate organisations against the Education Scotland quality framework, March 2012; and complement organisation-led internal review and self-evaluation.

Entitled Wise Women, the series is presented on one flat plain in a story- telling sequence. Lynch depicts the faces of the women as they were presented in medieval imagery – serene, contemplative and undisturbed from their inner thoughts. Produced during lockdown, the works were made in the artist’s home with a kitchen table, clamp presses, pegs and a washing line substituting for studio facilities. Says Lynch: “In my thoughts were all the women who have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic.

Note: Alexander Goudie was born in 1933 at Paisley and, as a child, showed a prodigious talent for drawing. He studied at Glasgow School of Art when William Armour was head of drawing and painting and David Donaldson was the ubiquitous influence. Goudie, as a student at Glasgow, demonstrated his extraordinary ability. He received the Somerville Shanks Prize for Composition and, later, his draughtsmanship and sense of colour was recognized with the award of the Newbery Medal. As a young artist he grew up admiring three great masters, Sir John Lavery, George Henry and James Guthrie; all artists who had bridged the gap between Glasgow and Paris. It was these artists’ glorious virtuoso control of oil paint that appealed to Goudie, as well as their genre and realist subject-matter. Alexander Goudie was elected a member of the Glasgow Art Club in 1956 and a member of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters in 1970. He painted a portrait of the Queen for the Caledonian Club, London (1992/93), and exhibited widely, showing at Harari and Johns, in London, the Fine Art Society, Glasgow, and the Musee de la Faience, in Quimper.

    Community Art So you want to be an artist: I always knew I wanted to be an artist, however, I enrolled in an Art History/English academic degree, and ended up leaving before I graduated as I needed to follow my heart with being an artist... Then I built up a portfolio at Leith School of Art and applied to art college.I did a foundation couse at Newcastle School of Art, followed by a degree in Fine Art at Staffordshire University, which focuses on sculpture and painting. It used to be free, but now only the Scottish Colleges are free. Scottish art colleges are: Edinburgh College of Art Glasgow School of Art Gray’s School of Art Duncan and Jordanstone These courses are 4 years or with an MA, 5 years. The English system is different: one year foundation course, and then a 3 year degree. Fine Artist: Sculpture, Painting, Intermedia, Photography. There are many other art courses. From curating to digital technologies, or those in Design. Designer: Animation Design Design Informatics Fashion Film and TV Glass Graphic Design Illustration Interior Design Interior Design and Architecture Jewellery and Silversmithing Performance Costume Product Design Textiles I learn by doing, taking courses, but also by self teaching, making mistakes and learning from them.
