Talk:Ruskin School of Art

Ruskin's advice
I wonder if the school places any emphasis on one of Ruskin's main ideas. He advised artists to depict only the sensations that they saw, without regard for the objects that were perceived. In other words, an artist should concentrate on reproducing merely the patches of color (including shades of black and white) that he/she sees, without thinking about the particular object that is perceived by means of the patches of color. In this way, the mind is not fooled or distracted by its thoughts about the object. A more representational drawing or painting results from this procedure. The Impressionists adopted this technique in that they merely reproduced their sense impressions with little or no concern for the objects. This is a revolutionary idea. However, if I know today's art schools, they probably don't even require that students read Ruskin's The Elements of Drawing, in which these thoughts are presented.Lestrade (talk) 12:45, 23 May 2008 (UTC)Lestrade

Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art → Ruskin School of Art – Current name, adopted in 2014. Gerbis (talk) 02:23, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Support per current name. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:00, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Support, but with consideration. An alternative change might be "The Ruskin School of Art" by which it seems to be named by Oxford University, but I'm not sure if the "The" here is part of its official title or just a typographical thing. The logo on the front of the building is "Ruskin School of Art", but this could just be a graphic conceit. Acabashi (talk) 12:39, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Support. A link to their site would have been useful.  No "the" in the addresses at the bottom. Johnbod (talk) 13:08, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Support per policy. ——  SerialNumber  54129  13:53, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
