SUMMARY:The Image of the Artist: Portraits from the Royal Academy
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition considers the role of the artist by exploring images of Royal Academicians past and present which are going on display from the collection of the Royal Academy. The works show how artists have sought either to reveal or disguise their identities\, in both cases controlling how their image is presented. From the founding members of the Royal Academy such as Thomas Gainsborough RA and the huge group work by Henry Singleton\, 1795 of forty Academicians to portraits of Patrick Proctor RA\, Jean Cooke RA and David Hockney RA\, this rich and thought-provoking exhibition provides an insight into the lives and identities of Britain’s leading and celebrated artists. \n \nImage credit:\n(Detail)\nThomas Gainsborough\, R.A.

This theme invites everyone to experiment\, to push the boundaries\, and to find inspiration in the rhythms and motions around us. \nAs a visual literacy charity\, The Big Draw champions the importance of drawing as a tool for learning\, communication\, and understanding the world around us. As we embark on this year’s festival\, I urge organisers and participants alike to have fun and to let your drawings dance and flow! Whether you’re capturing the movements of an animal\, the bustle of a city\, the whirring of machinery\, or the subtle shifts of a landscape\, let the energy of the moment guide each mark you make without worrying about the final outcome. \nEach year\, our incredible festival organisers amaze us with their creativity\, innovation\, and ability to think outside the box. We can’t wait to see how you bring ‘Drawing in Motion’ to life in 2024! I hope you find inspiration\, excitement\, and joy in the movement of your creations. \n\n \nMatilda Barratt\nDirector\, The Big Draw
