Humphrey Ocean tutoring Life Class: Today’s Nude
UK Channel 4 presents a series of five half-hour life drawing classes on daytime TV. Conceived by artist Alan Kane as an extension of his art practice, Life Class: Today’s Nude is commissioned and produced by Artangel.
Artists John Berger, Judy Purbeck, Maggi Hambling, Gary Hume and Humphrey Ocean tutor the classes with a diversity of nude models in settings ranging from the life drawing room at the Royal Academy of Arts to the artists’ own studios. The series airs Monday 6 – Friday 10 July, daily at 12.30pm (BST).
In advance of the broadcasts, Artangel is organising drop-in life drawing classes in five locations across London and in four cities across the UK. Results from these classes can be seen on flickr.
