About Cambridge School of Art

About Cambridge School of Art

The Past The original Cambridge School of Art was opened in 1858 by renowned British art critic, draughtsman, watercolourist and prominent social thinker John Ruskin, and has remained well-regarded ever since. Legendary cartoonist and graphic artist Ronald Searle, who died in 2012, studied here as did Edward Bawden, one of Britains greatest graphic artists, illustrators and printmakers. During the highly creative and experimental 1960s, Cambridge School of Art was home to many talented tutors and gifted students including caricaturists Roger Law and Peter Fluck, of Spitting Image fame, and Pink Floyd members Syd Barrett and Dave Gilmour, who played one of their first gigs, at Christmas 1966, from the balcony of the Ruskin studios. The Present Cambridge School of Art retains the creative ethos of its foundation, upon which the modern-day art school is built. Engaging with current debates surrounding contemporary practice and with state-of-the-art facilities, Cambridge School of Art today is a perfect combination of the old and the new. The original Ruskin building houses light, bright studios along with industry-standard film and photographic studios, 150-year-old printing presses and dedicated Mac suites. The Ruskin Gallery is a ground-breaking digital art gallery allowing both traditional hanging and digital viewing.

Recent Exhibitions
Parasite For this new exhibition specially created for the ten digital screens of the Ruskin Gallery, artist Deborah Robinson worked alongside sound artist David Strang (University of Plymouth) and researchers Dr Julian Rayner and Dr Oliver Billker of the Malaria research programme at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, to form a new audio-visual experience that invokes the recursive, cyclical nature of malarial disease alongside historical attempts to remove it entirely from our world. The Marmite Prize for Painting IV Sponsored by Arts Council England, The Marmite Prize is a nomadic prize championing a broad range of contemporary painting. 32 artists were selected from 850 submissions and the artists works were shown at a number of venues around the UK. The winner of the Marmite Painting Prize was announced in London at the Tannery, after its exhibition at the Ruskin Gallery in April 2013.

Situated at the heart of Cambridge School of Art, the Ruskin Gallery is a unique exhibition space surrounded by artists studios, incorporating a groundbreaking digital gallery - the first of its kind in the UK. Open to the general public, all exhibitions are free and carefully curated to provide a singular and memorable gallery-going experience. The Ruskin Gallery welcomes over 10,000 visitors every year and shows touring exhibitions of international standing alongside student work. With its vaulted ceilings, character and light, the Ruskin Gallery is the perfect backdrop for traditional shows, and the new technology (including the worlds first Panasonic 103 3D Full HD plasma screen and a state-of-theart Bose audio system) has been installed to complement the buildings period character. The new digital technology is fully flexible, allowing both traditional hanging and digital viewing, either independently or at the same time. The area underneath the main exhibition space has been transformed into a photography gallery and there is also an interactive touch-screen information point.

Childrens Picturebooks: The Art of Visual Storytelling Korean Book cover

Cambridge School of Art Abroad

Our students enjoy a number of field trips which aim to help develop their understanding of contemporary practice in an international context. Recent field trips include: Beijing, China, Porto, Portugal; Seville, Spain; Berlin, Germany; Amsterdam, Holland; Paris, France. In addition, some students take advantage of our links with institutions in Northern Europe to enhance their experience. In 2012 and 2013 students from BA (Hons) Illustration and Animation travelled to Fete dAnim in Lille, France, to show their films at this major international animation festival. In 2013, four students have benefitted from the EU Erasmus exchange scheme, spending the autumn semester studying in Breda, Holland. Three Graphic Design students studied Information Design at Avans University, and one joined the Excellence Programme at St Joost Akademie, as part of an important European cultural programme - VIVID. The St Joost students joined a team developing a major project with animator and social networking artist, Floris Kaayk, who was featured in news broadcasts across the world following his previous Bird Man project. MA Childrens Book Illustration students, staff and recent graduates visit the Bologna Childrens Book Fair annually. Since 2012 the course has taken its own stand at the fair. Portfolios and unpublished dummy books by students and graduates are on show at the stand, alongside internationally published works. Word about Cambridge School of Art quickly spreads amongst publishers at the fair, the appointments book is soon filled, and by the end of the week offers to publish have been made by companies from around the world including the UK, China, Italy, France, Korea, USA and Japan. In 2012, the biggest hit was Mike Mason, a part-time student in the final stages of his studies, whose elaborate 3D paper-cut books received interest and offers from 10 publishers in total.

Research at Cambridge School of Art

Research at Cambridge School of Art

Academic staff at Cambridge School of Art are active in research - some theoretical, much of it practicebased. Staff publish their research through exhibitions, books, journal articles and conference papers. At the last UK Research Assessment Exercise (RAE, in 2008), Art and Design was one of 8 subject areas at Anglia Ruskin University classed as having research of International standing. Research-active staff operate within research centres, or groups, which promote dialogue through seminars, lectures and conferences. Cambridge School of Arts research clusters include: Centre for Childrens Book Studies Fine Art Research Unit (FARU) Typographic Research Group Cultures of the Digital Economy Research Institute (CoDE)

These groups organise and contribute to conferences, exhibitions, screenings, articles and commissioned illustrations in international venues and publications. FARU offers regular artists talks, which are open to all students in the school, whilst the Centre for Childrens Book Studies organises an annual Festival of Illustration in Cambridge, in conjunction with Heffers Bookshop. We are also engaged in a range of research projects, connecting staff and students with international networks of artists and designers. A recent Anglia Ruskin arts project, Visualise, brought artists, scientists and technologists together in a series of exciting events. It culminated in a major exhibition in the Ruskin Gallery in July 2012 on the theme of computer arts, entitled Poetry, Language, Code, which included multimedia fractal pieces by William Latham, together with work by artists such as Eduardo Kak and Gustav Metzger. The European Union project, VIVID (Value Increase through Visual Design) brings together universities and arts organisations from the UK, France, the Netherlands and Belgium. In January 2013 an international conference was organised in Cambridge thorough VIVID, exploring the links between design and high-tech industries. The conference explored emerging ideas and developments, including the psychology of design, the role design plays in economic growth, and the relevance of visual design to a wide range of sectors. The conference included contributions from academics, as well as leading design companies around Europe, including Studio Roosegaarde, Grendel Games, Idees-3com and Akendi. Amongst the attendees were designers, artists, students, entrepreneurs, plus representatives from governmental organisations, design companies, and cultural organisations. This project is supported by the European Interreg IV A Programme 2 Mers Seas Zeen.

BA (Hons)

Illustration and Animation

Illustration and Animation looks to the interaction between the two disciplines to develop a strong authorial voice. Central to both disciplines is visual communication underpinned by the development of a personal visual language. Experimentation is seen as paramount in achieving this. A keen interest in the visual world should inform this experimentation and there is a strong emphasis on drawing as a means of exploring the visual environment. The development of sequential narratives through animation allows you to use structure and composition as a key ingredient in illustration work, while use of text and image developed through illustration practice, feeds into the visual language of animation.

Illustration and Book Arts

This course is a unique provision in the UK, designed to encourage a dialogue between visual practitioners in the fields of Illustration and Book Arts. Whatever your background, you will develop your own visual practice through collaboration and dialogue with staff, visiting professionals and fellow students, and in response to areas of mutual relevance to both illustrators and book artists such as visual sequencing and visual text. The MA builds on the traditions and expertise of Cambridge School of Art in the areas of Illustration and Book Arts, and you will be encouraged to make full use of our purpose-built art studios and the excellent printmaking and letterpress facilities.

Cambridge School of Art Events

Childrens Book Illustration Summer School Each year we run a 5-day course looking at what makes an effective picturebook for children. Aimed at all levels of experience, the Summer School explores characterisation, pacing, pagination, the interplay of text and image, composition and design as students produce their own dummy picturebook with the guidance of tutors in a friendly, relaxed and supportive environment. Alongside the practical, studio based work, a series of lectures by leading internationally published illustrators run throughout the week to inform and inspire. Studio sessions are run on a one-to-one tutorial basis by experienced tutors from the MA Childrens Book Illustration, so students from all backgrounds and experiences are welcome. However, we do ask that applicants have some previous drawing experience. We also hold a one day conference in conjunction with this event. For information on all our events please visit: www.anglia.ac.uk/csa

Cambridge School of Art has a number of events running throughout the year to welcome prospective students, members of the public and others interested in the work we do at Cambridge School of Art. These include exhibitions, workshops, talks, taster days and open days. Information for all our Ruskin Gallery exhibitions can be found at: www.anglia.ac.uk/ruskingallery and for all our student exhibitions at: www.anglia.ac.uk/studentexhibitions
