Welcome to Faringdon

WELL, THAT’S ALL. LET’S GO AND TAKE PART IN THIS FANTASTIC WORKSHOP!🎨

And remember that today ,March 21st ,is World Poetry Day and many famous poets inspired the most important artists and painters . For example , John Keats.

He  became one of the most influential poets of the nineteenth century, both for poets and for artists and he gained the adoration of his peers and of successive generations.” The Pre-Raphaelites in particular saw in him a kindred radical spirit and were moved by verses and his painterly poetic vision. Both William Holman Hunt and Arthur Hughes depicted scenes from his The Eve of Saint Agnes and similarly Endymion, Isabella or the Pot of Basil, Lamia and La belle dame sans merci inspired a number of works by the likes of John Everett Millais, John William Waterhouse, George Frederick Watts and Walter Crane”(from ART UK).

SO, DEAR READERS, WE SHOULD REMEMBER THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING GREAT MODELS AND TEACHERS AND, ABOVE ALL, THE GREAT CHANCE WE HAVE IN TAKING PART IN WORKSHOPS 🎨
