Art Tutor

[benfq1]

Need help at school? Need to prepare a portfolio for that all important university interview? Or, are you simply looking for someone to help transform a hobby into more?

Hi, my name is Ben Farquharson. I am a local Lambeth artist. I graduated from Goldsmiths University with a degree in Fine Art and have since maintained a successful, professional art practice which focuses on painting, film and sound installations. I am also proficient in photography, graphic design and website design. That being said I achieved a first in my dissertation, demonstrating a keen grasp of contemporary Art theory as well as Art History- in case you need to work on an essay, artist statement or a presentation of your artwork. I have exhibited extensively as well as previously having worked with such people as Secret Cinema, Justinguitar and Scott Walker.

I have a wealth of experience teaching people of all ages, having coached cricket to youngsters ranging from the age of 6-16, taught private guitar lessons all through university to fellow students and lastly, and my proudest moment, having helped my younger sister transform a C grade, in A level Art, into an A.

I know first hand the type of qualities top universities are looking for in potential students, having gained a place at, perhaps, the most competitive university in the UK for Art and assisting in interviews, in my third year, for prospective students. I can help tighten up a portfolio, engage a sketch book study, or broaden technical and conceptual capacities of your artwork.

my website is currently down, but please find some examples of my artwork hear: www.leopardspotsrabbit.blogspot.com

I offer lessons based at your home, where we can work on whatever aspect of your practice you wish.

I charge ?20 per hour, or 4 hours for ?60.

I don't provide supplies, but I can source them for you.

I am available for lessons on weekday evenings after 7.30pm or weekends.

I am flexible on the area, as long as it is around East Dulwich/ Lambeth.
