Welcome

We are an academic community of art, design and media

professionals focused on developing the creative practice of

our students through studio, workshop and classroom based

experimentation. Cambridge School of Art is home to some 800

students studying for undergraduate, taught masters and doctoral

qualifications. All our courses offer distinctive integration of practice

The Past

The original Cambridge School of Art was opened in1858 by renowned British art critic, draughtsman,watercolourist and prominent social thinker John Ruskin, andhas remained well-regarded ever since. Legendary cartoonistand graphic artist Ronald Searle, who died in 2012, studiedhere as did Edward Bawden, one of Britain’s greatest graphicartists, illustrators and printmakers. During the highly creative

and experimental 1960s, Cambridge School of Art washome to many talented tutors and gifted students includingcaricaturists Roger Law and Peter Fluck, of Spitting Imagefame, and Pink Floyd members Syd Barrett and Dave Gilmour,who played one of their first gigs, at Christmas 1966, from thebalcony 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 contemporarypractice and with state-of-the-art facilities, Cambridge School ofArt today is a perfect combination of the old and the new. Theoriginal Ruskin building houses light, bright studios along withindustry-standard film and photographic studios, 150-year-oldprinting presses and dedicated Mac suites. The Ruskin Galleryis a ground-breaking digital art gallery allowing both traditionalhanging and digital viewing.

Academic staff at Cambridge School of Art are active in research - some theoretical, much of it practice-based. 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 atAnglia Ruskin University classed as having research of ‘International’ standing. Research-active staff operatewithin research centres, or groups, which promote dialogue through seminars, lectures and conferences.Cambridge School of Art’s research clusters include:

• Centre for Children’s 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 commissionedillustrations in international venues and publications. FARU offers regular artists’ talks, which are opento all students in the school, whilst the Centre for Children’s Book Studies organises an annual Festival ofIllustration in Cambridge, in conjunction with Heffers’ Bookshop.

We are also engaged in a range of research projects, connecting staff and students with internationalnetworks 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 RuskinGallery in July 2012 on the theme of computer arts, entitled Poetry, Language, Code, which includedmultimedia fractal pieces by William Latham, together with work by artists such as Eduardo Kak and GustavMetzger.

The European Union project, VIVID (Value Increase through Visual Design) brings together universities andarts organisations from the UK, France, the Netherlands and Belgium. In January 2013 an internationalconference was organised in Cambridge thorough VIVID, exploring the links between design and high-techindustries. 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 aroundEurope, including Studio Roosegaarde, Grendel Games, Idees-3com and Akendi. Amongst the attendeeswere designers, artists, students, entrepreneurs, plus representatives from governmental organisations,design companies, and cultural organisations.

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 thedevelopment 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.
