TURPS CORRESPONDENCE COURSE 2019/20

Janet Sainsbury

TURPS CORRESPONDENCE COURSE 2019/20

Applications open now for 2019/20
Deadline: 31st August 2019

Turps Correspondence Course is an innovative project giving painters a critical perspective and challenging insight into their work, wherever they are based and at any point in their career, in the form of quarterly appraisals aimed at supporting their studio development.

During the year participants will engage in a structured two-way process during which time they will present images of works and, in turn, receive feedback from a dedicated mentor as well as the wider tutorial team at Turps Art School.

Applicants must have a personal email address, access to the internet and reasonable facilities to document work digitally.

Participants will be provided with a dedicated online folder at privateviews.com that will be visible to both themselves and the tutorial team. Participants will be expected to upload images of paintings, drawings, works in progress, sketchbook pages etc. during the duration of the course. It is important this is an ongoing process that best describes their output as this will allow the mentors to track developments and compile their observations at dedicated feedback points.

The application process is now open and applications will be reviewed on an on-going basis until August 31st 2019, when the process will close until next year. Applicants can expect to hear about the success of their application within 6 weeks of Turps receiving it.

Programme mentors currently include: Dan Coombs, Covadonga Valdes, Katrina Blannin, David Leeson, Sarah Pickstone, Katie Pratt, Marcus Harvey, Phil Allen, Philip King, Sofia Silva, Colin Smith, Neal Tait, Emma Talbot, Andrea Medjesi-Jones, Luke Dowd, Hannah Murgatroyd, Adam Hennessey, John Greenwood, Jake Clark and Geraldine Swayne.

“Looking back to my first year, I feel my work and how I feel about it has changed significantly. I am more sure of the direction I want to pursue and more confident about my skills. The feedback I’ve received has been of a consistently high standard and always relevant, often challenging. An ex Turps student said to me when I asked if doing the correspondence course was a good idea ‘you get out of it what you put in’ – which I think is very true. I’ve enjoyed the structure and the format of submitting work and a statement and getting a review back from my tutor works really well for me. I am going to meet up with 5 other artists on the Turps Correspondence Course soon in Bristol and I’m hoping to be part of a group Turp CC show in London later this year. It feels great to have this shared connection with other painters.”
Janet Sainsbury

“What I enjoy most about the Correspondence Course is the sustained critical dialogue with my mentor. I have time to experiment with ideas, produce new work, think about my process – then comes a submission and much awaited report. And again I have another two or three months to reflect, agree or disagree, check recommended artists, do more reading. In this cycle of concentrated energy and exchange my painting and self-reflection have become richer and more varied.”
Peter Leese

“Having left art school, my practice began to develop in a more painterly direction. After a period of time working by myself in the studio I sought out critical interaction. Turps CC provided me the opportunity to gain constructive feedback towards the develop of my painting practice. The tutor interaction provided me with a fresh perspective to the way I was thinking about, and approaching my paintings. The course challenged me to re-evaluate and experiment, leading to unforeseen outcomes in my work. It has been a great learning experience and the guidance that I’ve received has contributed towards me receiving an offer to enrol at the Royal Academy of Art’s Postgraduate programme 2019-2021.”
Max Boyla

“I applied to the Turps Correspondence Course because I felt I could benefit from a dialogue with and critical response from a course mentor in order for me to assess the work I was making and how I wanted it to develop.  I was allocated a mentor who had a real sympathy with and understanding of the paintings I was making and the themes and thoughts behind them, and asked questions that required me to think carefully about what I was doing and why.  Over the year a useful and thought-provoking dialogue has taken place with the mentor, which I found supportive and encouraging whilst at the same time challenging, leading me to broaden the subject matter, and consider other approaches to mark making, scale and paint handling.  Consequently my work has developed and evolved in exciting and unexpected ways.  The Turps Correspondence Course has contributed hugely to this, and I would unreservedly recommend it to those who have a serious interest in painting and wish to develop and critique their practice.”
Ben Walker

Running from Monday to Friday, with optional activities planned during the middle weekend, each day is split into dedicated sessions including refreshments and lunch.

Georgia O'Keefe on Success & Your Career

Whether you succeed or not is irrelevant, there is no such thing.
Making your unknown known is the important thing.
Georgia O’Keeffe

The next 10-week, live, Klein Artist Works course begins Monday, February 20th with a Free Introductory Webinar .

Contrary to conventional notions, traction in the art world is not all that difficult to achieve. And the amazing thing is . . . it all starts with you being you. This is not about fitting a cookie-cutter mold, or following prescribed steps. It’s about you being you. Your unique, weird, self.

The artworld is not a foreboding place. No one is in your way. People actually want to see you succeed, and will give of themselves a bit to facilitate that, if you are nice. Relationships matter. A lot. So does having a positive attitude. And being generous. Authentic too. Be who you are. Be who you are some more. Show your idiosyncrasies.

Show what makes you unique. The more vulnerable your reveal yourself to be the more others see themselves and like your art. Stop holding back. (Watch the 3-minute video.)

I get that you are skeptical, that conditioning says artists are 2nd class citizens. I don’t agree. And we don’t need to convince all of them they are wrong. All we (you) need to do is find 6 or 7 people who think your art is exceptional and you’ve got traction. It’s about finding people who are ready to be inspired by what you do.

Have you noticed that artists who succeed make art that we haven’t seen before? You want to move towards uniqueness, revealing your inner self. This is what people relate to. You. Not you trying to be someone else. You.

And this is what Klein Artist Works is about. You. Enabling you to be you. Strong. Proud. Authentic. In touch with your priorities, aesthetic, purpose, and loving the prospects.

It starts with commitment.

Klein Artist Works meets Live, Monday evenings, for 10 weeks. The 1st session is Free, Monday, February 20th. Click to attend.

It’s a gift to be an artist. I honor that.

Warmly,

Paul Klein

As a visual artist, what's important to you?

As a visual artist, what’s important to you?

More than ever we need art, and its ability to change the world by creating meaning and beauty.

For that to happen, you need to succeed. On your terms.

The next Klein Artist Works Course (the 20th) starts on Monday, February 20th with a free, live introductory webinar.

1. The Klein Artist Works Course is for the artist who has not had successful one-person exhibits. All visual artists are welcome.
2. Klein Artist Works also offers One-on-One Coaching for the artist who has a compelling, expansive vision, or an unfulfilled, powerful drive to do more.

With this email, I’m inviting visual artists to consider One-on-One Coaching. We meet live, face-to-face, on the internet, on a schedule that works for your objectives; weekly, biweekly, or monthly. Send me an email if you’d like to explore the appropriateness, and cost, of this kind of expanded opportunity for you. ($125/session, my email) I’d like to focus on two of the artists I’m working with currently. One is Judy Gelles, from Philadelphia, who like many significant artists, interrupted her career for a couple of decades to raise children. Life fed her vision and art is fulfilling it through her Fourth Grade Project:

• Over the past eight years Judy Gelles has interviewed and photographed more than 300 fourth grade students from a wide range of economic and cultural backgrounds in China, India, South Korea, England, St. Lucia, Italy, South Africa, Nicaragua and multiple areas of the United States. She asked all of the students the same three questions: Who do you live with? What do you wish for? What do you worry about? The Fourth Grade Project connects children locally and globally, building bridges and tearing down walls.

Given the importance of the project, we have expanded the vision to include a book, a travelling exhibition, a documentary video, and a theatrical production.

To get here, I’ve listened to Judy, her aspirations, and enthusiasm. In turn, I’ve thrown options, ideas, and people at her based on what I’ve heard, and watched her thrive.

There’s a plenty left to do. It’s fun and meaningful. That’s important.

Could this be you? Is there an unfulfilled mission you want to accomplish? Do you sense a bigger purpose? If I think I can propel you, and what you do resonates with me, I’ll be interested in working with you.

Jorge Mañes Rubio is from Madrid and lives in Amsterdam. We’ve been working together monthly for 3 years A residency in Japan a year ago led to an interest in the planets, and space travel. Through our discussions, I challenged Jorge to become the first Artist-in-Residence at the European Space Agency. I can’t say it was easy, but it was easier than we expected

Now Jorge Mañes Rubio is designing a Temple on the Moon that considers the common best qualities of all humans – from a totally different perspective.

• The Moon Temple intends to celebrate humanity, and serve social, cultural and spiritual purposes, envisioning our interplanetary future as a unique chance to do things differently.

Let me repeat: Could this be you? Is there an unfulfilled mission you want to accomplish? Do you sense a bigger purpose? If I think I can propel you, and what you do resonates with me, I’ll be interested in working with you.

I’m ready, committed, and look forward to hearing from you.

Warmly,

Paul Klein
