Royal Academy Schools
Function: Art school
Policy: The report for the school in 1864 notes that 'in the two reports by sculptors, a want of ability in modelling is remarked'. It also records that 'a Bi-annual Medal is instituted this year, for the best restoration of a mutilated Antique Statue, to be selected by the Council, with a view to the improvement of style and the exercise of the inventive power of the Students of Sculpture'. See Royal Academy, 'Annual Report', (1865), p. 24. In the 1868 report the law that restricted the number of visitors in the Life School to six painters and three sculptors was abolished, and it was decided that 'in electing such nine Visitors Members should be at the liberty to elect as many Painters and as many Sculptors within the limit of such nine Visitors as might be deemed most advantageous to the School'. See Royal Academy 'Annual Report', (1869), p. 20. The 1869 report records that 'the limited admission of Female Students which arose from the inadequate accommodation at Trafalgar Square was no longer necessary upon the Academy removing to Burlington House'. See Royal Academy 'Annual Report', (1870), p. 16. The 1870 Annual Report records a number of changes to the school. It notes that in the Life School study from the model would be restricted to drawing and modelling. A preliminary class in oil painting was established which all students would complete before entering the School of Painting. The report also states that ‘in the Department of Sculpture there shall be a competent Teacher in the technical details of Modelling in all the Schools of the Royal Academy’. The new teacher of modelling was to attend all of the schools from 10am to 1pm daily and paid £100. See Royal Academy ‘Annual Report’, (1871), p. 15. The 'First Annual Report of the School Committee' was provided in January 1872 (see Royal Academy 'Annual Report', (1872), p. 21). The report commented on the 'insufficiency of the instruction given in Sculpture', and recommended that 'a properly qualified Professor of Sculpture be appointed in the Royal Academy', and that 'a separate Evening Life School be provided for the Students of Sculpture, thus rendering possible for them to model, from the Life, in the round'. In the 1872 Annual Report the School Committee discussed the recommendation that 'a Professor or Teacher of Sculpture should be appointed, to teach modelling to the Sculpture Students in a School set apart for the purpose'. It was resolved that a School for Modelling from the Life in the round would be established, subject to a minimum of six students attending the school. However, only four female students applied to study in the school, and due to these insufficient numbers the scheme was withdrawn. The General Assembly of the Royal Academy recommended that no less than two of the Visitors to the Life School would be sculptors, and that one would 'set the model for Premium Competition in the class of Sculpture'. Additionally one sculptor and an architect were added to the School Committee. See Royal Academy 'Annual Report', (1875), pp. 12-13. In the 1873 Annual Report it is noted that sculpture students in the Antique School who wanted to be admitted to the Life School would be asked to submit an additional drawing of a head in addition to 'existing requirements'. See Royal Academy 'Annual Report, 1873', (1876), p. 25. In 1874 the School Committee (established in 1870) was abolished and its duties became the responsibility of the Council (see 'Annual Report, 1874', (1877), p. 10.) In 1883 it is recorded that due to the lack of students attending the class of modelling for architects on Saturday afternoons in the summer months, Mr. Stannus recommended to the Council that these classes take place during the months of January, February, March, October, November, and December only. In April and May Stannus would give lessons 'in Ornament'. See Royal Academy, 'Annual Report, 1882', (1883), p. 15.
.......................................
Numerous changes to the Schools were made in October 1903. These were the result of many discussions which had take place from 1900 onwards. The changes included the following: there was to be no age limit for entrance to the Schools, preliminary teaching was abolished, a class for drawing from the life was established for female students, 'the practical amalgamation of the course of study in all the Schools of male and female students', and the creation of a School of Design. See 'Annual Report, 1903', (1904), pp. 15-16, for further changes.
On the 25 January, 1905, the Schools Council agreed to admit to the Schools without examination 'Colonial Students in Painting and Sculpture', who had been awarded Travelling Studentships to study Art in Europe. It was also agreed that Visitors should attend the day and evening schools twice a week. See 'Annual Report, 1904', (1905), p. 13.
Works by students who had recieved a travelling scholarship were exhibbited on the 10 Decemeber following their retrun. In response to complaints made by visitors to the sculpture school that there was not enough room in the life class for the number of students who attended, the Academy resolved that 'the smaller Antique School has been alloted to the Sculptors, and a door of communication made between it and the back Sculpture School'. See Annual Report, 1910', (1911), p. 21.
The values of the prizes offered for a model of a design were reduced in 1915. See 'Annual Report, 1915', (1916), p. 77.
In 1916, the General Assembly of the Academy recommended that the evening schools of drawing and sculpture, all schools for male students, and all prize competitions be suspended during the was. See 'Annual Report, 1916', (1917), p. 22. The male schools were closed in March 1916.
In July 1918, the Schools Committee reported on suggestions for a 'State Final School of Art'. The Academy would assume management and control of the School, and the government would provide buildings and maintance grants. Students would be above 16 years of age, and would be admitted by examination. The school would be named 'The Royal Academy State School of Art'. The course of study would be five years for painting and sculpture, and on completion of the fourth year students would work in a seperate school under the instruction of a Visitor. See 'Annual Report, 1918', (1919), pp. 76-87, for further details of the composition of the sculpture course.
A meeting was held on the 14 February, 1920, to discuss the establishment of a 'Final School of Fine Art'. A/ Webb states that 'generally speaking the view of the Academy was that it should have the Final School of the Fine Arts, while the Royal College should be a School of the Industrial Arts. The Academy had valuable Studentships to offer in the Fine Arts, and would like to have the best students from the provincial schools holding finishing scholarships at the Academy Schools'. This discussion between the Royal Academy and the Board of Education was put before the Royal Academy Council on the 25 February, 1920, who recorded that 'the statements made that the Board [of Education] was not comtemplating a State School of Fine Art, and would be willing to consider arrangements for sending the best Students from the existing Government Schools to the Academy Schools, were very satisfactory'. See 'Annual Report, 1920', (1921), p. 46.
The total number of students attending the Schools from 1769 to 1920 was 5247. This included 2968 painters, 498 sculptors, 1468 architects, 162 engravers, and 151 not specified. See 'Annual Report, 1920', (1921), p. 40.
In 1922, it was agreed that 'a Master of the Sculpture School be appointed from among the Sculptor Members of the Royal Academy for a term of two years, after which he shall be re-eligible; that he attend for periods ammounting to not less than seven hours in each week, to set the subjects and direct the Studies; and that his salary be £300 per annum'. It was also reccommended that 'the Studies of the School be re-organised by the Master in consultation with the Sculpture Section, which with the Keeper would have the general supervision of the School; this arrangement to replace the Visitorship, the Visitors elected for 1921 having agreed to resign their office as soon as the new system can come into operation'. See 'Annual Report, 1922', (1923), p. 21.
In 1923 the Keeper, Charles Sims, noted that 'the quality of work in the School of Sculpture is excellent, and the Architectural School shows a further increase in the number of students'. See 'Annual Report, 1923', (1924), p. 35.
In 1924, the Council reported that it had 'decided to engage the services of a moulder for the occasional instruction of the Sculpture Students in casting, and to require that the head submitted by each Sculpture Student for the Annual Examination be cast by the Student; also that in all Sculpture Competitions it be stated on each work submitted whether it has been cast by the Student or not'. See 'Annual Report, 1924', (1925), p. 17.
On the 13 April, 1927, the School's Director, George Clausen, provided a detailed report about the development of teaching at the Royal Academy. Clausen suggests that 'the old system, which came to an end with the war, was perfect of its kind'. He notes that the schools were, 'if anything', over-staffed and the system was too rigid. However, he affirms that the school 'worked without much difficulty, because of the prestige of the Academy, and because at that time its teaching had not been seriously challended or questioned'. This situation, Clausen suggests, contrasts with the current one, which he describes as 'not so much a School, as a rather freely-run life class', to which attendance 'is somewhat casual'. He notes that the younger generation 'no longer accepts the old ideals', and that students now attend the schools after training first elsewhere. The average age of attendance is 22 for men and 23 for women. Clausen suggests that there should be a Curator of the Schools who, 'should be a youn artist', provided with a studio, and (with the Visitors) also be responsible for setting the models for classes. See 'Annual Report, 1927', (1928), p. 39.
In 1928, the Keeper of the School (W. W. Russell) noted that 'the students are working well and the attendance is good, with the exception of the Evening School of Sculpture'. See 'Annual Report, 1928', (1929), p. 42.
W. McMillan reported on the 29 June, 1932, that 'the work in the School of Sculpture has been satisfactory. The Students are dilligent and show a good deal of enthusiasm. The numbers have increased and the attendance has been excellent. There are no students of outstanding ability, but two or three might eventually produce fine work'. He also suggested that advanced students only should 'have some experience of carving'. See 'Annual Report, 1932', (1933), pp. 47-48.
A carving class was started in the Sculpture School in 1932, and a carved head was included in the Sculpture Competition. See 'Annual Report, 1932', (1933), p. 20.
The Keeper reported on 1 May, 1933, that 'the proposed scheme for the possible co-operation between Schools of Art, brought forward by the Board of Education, has been approved by the General Committee of the London County Council and the Council of the Royal Academy'. The report continues as follows: 'under this scheme approved Students of the Royal Academy will be able to attend special classes and lectures without payment of fees; in return, the Council of the Academy is allowing a limited number of Students of other Schools to attend our Drawing Classes, and Lectures on the Chemistry of Painting, Anatomy, and Perspective, provided always that room can be found [...] The classes which will be open to out Students are Pottery, Stained Glass, Metal-work, Mural Decoration, Writing, Illumination, Etching, Bookbinding, etc; also the Lectures of the Courtauld Institute'. See Royal Academy, 'Annual Report, 1933', (1934), p. 40.
A report on the Sculpture School from July, 1935, notes that 'the proportion of men to women Students shown an increase which should continue'. See 'Annual Report, 1935', (1936), p. 52.
In 1939 the Schools were closed until the 23 October, 'when the Painting and Sculpture Schools were opened, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily except Saturdays'. See 'Annual Report, 1939', (1940), p. 19.
On the 26 March, 1940, the Keeper reported that 'the number of Students attending the Schools is, I think, satisfactory, considering the difficulties of the war; some have been called up for military service during the term, but several women have now returned and are working regularly, the daily attendance being about thirty'. He also notes that the 'Sculpture Class is well attended, but most of the men are now on service'. See 'Annual Report, 1940', (1941), p. 30.
All of the schools were closed in 1941.
In February 1943, Charles Wheeler reported on the future plans for the Sculpture School. Wheeler recommended that 'rather than compete with such schools as the Royal College of Art, the L.C.C. Central, etc., it would be wiser, I believe, to form a very advanced school at Burlington House, where specially chosen students could prosecute final studies'. He continues: 'Our Schools should be regarded not as a Training College, but as an Academy for the final stages of professional studies. The number of students in the Sculpture School should be limited to two per annum. These two would be the most carefully selected and should be given grants which would be sufficiently large to make scholarships tothe R.A. as eagerly sought after as was the Prix de Rome'. Wheeler suggested that two scholarships were offered each year, tenable for two years at a value of £300 per annum. The student would recieve instruction and be mentored by an Academician, and other sculptor members. These students could also compete for the Academy's Gold Medal and Travelling Scholarship, but these could not be held concurrently with this scholarship. Wheeler's 'sketch-plan' for the re-organisation of the schools was to run advanced courses in painting, sculpture and architecture, and a drawing school which 'should cover all stages and ages from 15 years upwards, and which should take in the widest field of subject'. This report is re-printed in the 'Annual Report, 1945', (1946), pp. 37-39.
The Report of the Schools Committee from July, 1945, discussed the provision of training during the war. It recommended that 'it was not practicable to open the Schools in London; and financial considerations precluded the possibility of evacuating them to the country, as had been sone in the cases of the Royal College of Art and the Slade School. Moreover, the call on young men and women for the Services would have such a limiting effect on the age of avaliable students that the purpose of the Schools could not be properly carried out'. See 'Annual Report, 1945', (1946), p. 27.
The Painting and Drawing Schools re-opened 'for a limited number of students in January, 1946'. See 'Annual Report, 1945', (1946), p. 14.
In 1945 the Sculptor Members met to make a number of recommendations for the re-opening of the Sculpture School in October 1946. These recommendations included the following instructions:
- 'The the School be for the final training of advanced Students bewteen 18 and 25 years of age (years of war service being discounted) at the time of admission, and that they be not more than 8 in number at any time'.
- 'That the course of study be for 2 or 3 years, and include carving as well as modelling'.
- 'That the instruction be given by 3 Sculptor Members nominated as Visitors each year by the Sculptor Members abd approved by the Council'.
- 'That the course of study comprise modelling, figure composition, carving and drawing; a model to sit on 3 days each week for the modelling class; carving, composition and design to be done on the other 3 days; but the details of these arrangements to be at the discretion of the Visitors'.
'That the Students study drawing in the Evening Drawing School'.
Note that a number of other recommendations were made: for a full list of these see 'Annual Report, 1946', (1947), p. 29 [sic].
In 1946, the Sculptor Members met to consider the re-opening of the Sculpture School. 'The recommendations were in general accord with those of the Schools Committee in July 1945, which were approved by the General Assembly [...], the Council adopted them all except one, assigning part of the Architectural School to the proposed carving class, as it was considered advisable to retain this room as the Architectural School'. The Keeper's report records that 'the new students who have come as probationers since the war are more satisfactory than those who were there before the war. The former are in a more teachable frame of mind, and more willing to put their faith in their instructions. The older ones are just as enthusiastic, but to have had their studies interrupted by six years of war is, to put it mildly, unsettling, and in some cases it has blunted the edges and left them aggressive, over-confident on their own judgment and unaware of their own inexperience'. See 'Annual Report, 1946', (1947), p. 16, p. 28.
The first stone carving class was established in 1947, for students of the Sculpture School. See 'Annual Report, 1947', (1948, p. 15.
In 1948 the Keeper of the Schools, Philip Connard, reported that 'there is a distinct improvement since the sculpture Sculpture School re-opened'. See 'Anual Report, 1948', (1949), p. 24.
In 1950, the first prize for carving in stone and wood was awarded to Eric L. Winters. See 'Annual Report, 1950', (1951), p. 45.
The July 1952 Keeper's Report records that 'the Sculpture School has shown the most marked advance, and I would like to pay tribute to the Master of Sculpture, Mr. Maurice Lambert, for his energy and enthusiasm'. See 'Annual Report, 1951', (1952), p. 33.
Rules: The 'Abstract of the Constitution and Laws' (1860), outlines in detail the rules of membership, etc., of the Academy. Some of the rules that relate to the Schools are described below:
- The Keeper of the Royal Academy would 'be an Artists, properly qualified to instruct the Students'. His would 'superintend the Academy, the Models, Casts, Books'. He would also regularly visit the Antique Academy, to give advice to students, etc. (p. 14).
- Professorships of the Royal Academy would be held for five years, after which Professor would be eligible for re-election.
- The Professor of Sculpture would 'read annually Six lectures, explanatory of the principles of Style and Form in that Art, and its peculiarities of Composition' (p. 19).
- Lectures would be given on Sculpture. The report specified that 'no comments or criticisms on the opinions or productions of living Artists in this Country, shall be introduced into any of the Lectures delivered in the Royal Academy' (p. 21).
- Nine Visitors to the Life Academy would be elected annually. 'Their business shall be to attend, one month each, by rotation, to set the Figures, to examine and correct the Performances of the Students, and give them their Advice and Instruction' (p. 22).
In 1861 the Council revised the rules for recipients of the Travelling studentship in painting or sculpture, to enable students who wanted to pursue their studies at home to exchange the award for a cash amount (see 'Annual Report', (1862), p. 7). The Royal Academy 'Annual Report' (1863) notes that six painters and three sculptors would be appointed every year to serve as visitors to the Life School. The painter visitors would serve for two months and the sculptor visitors for one months in rotation for a period of nine months. It also notes that 'a Sculptor Visitor shall set the Living Model for the Premiums offered to Sculptor Students', (see p. 8). In 1881 the conditions of the Travelling Studentships in Painting and Sculpture were altered. The awards were given every two years, rather than every four years as they had been previously. It was also decided that the studentships would be given to the Gold medal winners, rather than be awarded separately. Further changes to the school's medals and awards were made in 1881. A first prize of £30, and a second prize of £10 were added to the Armitage Competition for a model of a design in the round or in relief (prizes were currently awarded for a design of a figure picture). Additional prizes that were added for sculptors included a first prize of £50 and a second prize of £20 for a set of three models of a figure from the life 'executed in the School of Modelling from the Life during the year'. A £10 prize was also offered for a model of a statue or group, executed in the Antique School during the year. The Landseer Scholarships were also instituted in this year. The scholarships were the bequest of Charles Landseer. The scholarships were open to students in painting and sculpture 'who shall pass the best examination at the end of the first three years' term of Studentship'. Each scholarship was £10 and awarded for two years. The report notes that 'as the examinations take place twice a year there will always be eight Landseer Scholars in existence'. See 'Annual Report, 1881', (1882), pp. 16-18. The 1884 report records that 'the first examination held under the new Rules requiring Students in Painting and Sculpture have obtained admission to the Upper Painting School or the School of Modelling from the Life respectively, to pass an examination for the purpose of being admitted for another three years, took place on December 4'. It states that of the 21 students admitted, 15 presented themselves for examination, and 12 of these passed. See 'Annual Report, 1884', (1885), p. 19. On the 9 February 1886, a motion was passed that enabled Associate Members of the Royal Academy to become eligible as Professors of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. See 'Annual Report, 1886', (1887), p. 14. In 1889, a number of changes were made to the rules of the Academy. Students had to be over the age of 23. The test for the admission of Probationers as students in sculpture was 'a model in the round, 2 feet high, of a Figure from the Life, partially draped, to be done in eleven days of four hours each, and a model of a design in clay or wax from a subject to be set the Keeper, to be executed in on day within the Academy. See 'Annual Report, 1889', (1890), p. 21.
In 1905, the rules of the Travelling Studentship were reviewed. The Council decided that 'Students must start within six weeks of the award of the Studentship on December 10; and must, before leaving, furnish the Council with a programme of the route, etc., which they propose to follow during their tenure of the Studentship'. It was also agreed that 'those Colonial Students in Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture, who have been awarded Travelling Studentships in the Colonies to study art in Europe, be admitted without examination, if so desired, into the Schools of the Royal Academy'. See 'Annual Report, 1905', (1906), p. 17 and p. 22. In 1906, two students were admitted to the Schools under this act; one from New Zealand and one from Cape Town.
Meeting schedule: annual
History or description: The Royal Academy's art school is known as 'The Schools' because each 'School' originally corresponded to a different element in the training of the artists that had to be mastered in a particular order. It is the oldest training place for artists in Britain.
The 1859 'Annual Report' (1860), gives some background information regarding the establishment of the Royal Academy Schools. It notes that 'the earliest subject of consideration, with the Council, was the establishment of the Royal Schools, consisting of an antique academy, and a school for the living model'. The Professorship of Sculpture was instiututed in 1810. The School opened in 1769 with 77 students, 10 on which were sculpture students. The term of studentship was originally six years, this increased to seven in 1792, and ten in 1800. In 1853 it was reduced to seven years 'for those students who have not obtained medals, the gaining of which constitutes them students for life'. Medals were awarded from the School's foundation, and the first travelling scholarship was awarded in 1771. Between 1769 and 1859 118 gold medals and 594 silver medals were awarded. In 1851 a 'Curator in the antique academy was appointed'. Between 1769 and 1859, 2744 students were admitted to the Royal Academy Schools.
The report notes that 'the Schools of the Royal Academy are intended to provide the means of studying the Human Form, with respect both to anatomical knowledge and taste of design. They consist of two departments, the one appropriated to the study of the best remains of Ancient Sculpture, and the other to the study of the Living Models. To these has been added a School of Painting'. Modellers attending the Antique school were required to produce at least six models in clay from the Antique - 'one to be produced in plaster together with Outline Drawings of a Head and Foot, as large as nature'. Medals that were avaliable for modelling students included a Gold Medal for the best 'Model of an Historical Bas-Relief, or Alto-Relief'; a Silver Medal for 'the best Drawings, and the best Models in bas-relief, of Academy Figures, done in the Life School'; a Silver Medal for 'the best Medal-Die, cut in Steel'. Medals for intermediate year students were also offered(Appendix 4, pp. 57-59).
Electric lighting was provided for the Modelling School from 1894 onwards. See 'Annual Report, 1894', (1895), p. 13.
The 1895 report records that 'the attendance of Students in the Life School and Upper Painting Schools has been very large; and if this cannot be said of the Modelling Schools, the cause is to be found in the small number of Students admitted'. See 'Annual Report, 1895', (1896), p. 30.
In 1902 it was recommended that 'the Preliminary School, the Lower School of Painting, the Lower School of Sculpture, the Lower School of Architecture and the Perspective Class, be abolished'. This act was finally passed on 24 July 1903. See 'Annual Report, 1902', (1903), p. 17.
In 1907, the Keeper Ernest Crofts noted: 'the great expense in models for the School of Sculpture, which seems excessive, considering the number of students in that school, but regret I can suggest no remedy, unless by resorting to the past regulation of only having the Day School open three days a week instead of six. See 'Annual Report, 1906', (1907), p. 35.
The 1860 report records that the first female student was accepted to the school (see 'Annual Report', (1861), p. 16). In 1861 four additional female students were admitted (see 'Annual Report', (1862), p. 9). There were limitation imposed on the number of female students that could be admitted. The 1867 report records how 'the abolition by the Council of the exclusiveness as regards sex, which from the foundation was the custom, though not the law, of the Institution, led to numerous applications for admission; but it was found impossible, with restricted space, to accommodate the number that applied, and consequently the Council limited the admissions to thirteen'. In 1867 the Council was asked if 'the rule excluding, "for the present", any addition to the number of female students might be so far relaxed as to allow others entering as vacancies occurred in the thirteen'. The result of this request was that three new places for 'probationships' (this stage had to be completed by students before they were granted entry into the school) for women were offered in July 1867. See the Royal Academy's 1867 'Annual Report', (published 1868), pp. 16-17.
The 1860 annual report records the numbers of new students admitted to the school. On the 27 April, 1860, seven painting students, one sculpture student (who was admitted to the School of the Living Model), and one architecture student were admitted to the school. On the 15 July, 1860, ten painting and two architecture students were admitted. The single sculpture student who had entered the school as a 'probationer' in this session, was rejected from the school on this date. In 1860 73 students attended the Antique School, 48 attended the School of the Living Model, and 32 attended the School of Painting (see 'Annual Report' (1861)).
In 1862 a total of 605 students attended the school, of whom 4 were female: see Royal Academy 'Annual Report', (1862), p. 23.
In 1866 24 painters, 5 sculptors and 5 architects were admitted as new students to the school. In the Antique School there were 101 students; 82 were painters, 17 sculptors, and 2 architects. In the Life School there were 56 students; 47 were painters, 8 sculptors, and 1 architect. In the School of Painting there were 51 students: 46 were painters and 5 sculptors. 41 students were male and 10 were female. The 1866 report also records that from 1769 to 1866, 2,969 students had attended the school. These included 1,706 painters, 294 sculptors, 656 architects, 162 engravers, and 151 who were 'not specified'. Between 1769 and 1866, 13 female students were admitted to the school. See Royal Academy 'Annual Report', (1867), p. 44 and p. 48-52.
The 1871 'Annual Report' records that 32 painters, 6 sculptors, and 14 architects successfully passed their probationerships and were admitted as students to the school. The report notes that 'Eleven Students were admitted to draw in the School of the Living Model, 1 to model, 4 gained admission to the Preliminary School, and six to the Upper Painting School, in which the Nude figure and the Draped Model sit alternately'. In 1871 80 male students and 21 female students attended the Antique School. There were 78 painters, 20 sculptors and 3 architects studying in the Antique School. In the Life School there were 54 painters, 3 sculptors, and 3 architects (no numbers are given for male and female students). In the School of Painting there were 49 male students and 18 female students. There were 62 painters, 3 sculptors, and 2 architects. In addition to these numbers 47 painters, 1 sculptor and 2 architects studied in the Draped Model, and 48 painters, 2 sculptors and 1 architect attended the Preliminary School of Painting (36 were male, 15 were female). The report also records the total numbers of students who had attended the Academy Schools from 1769 to 1871: the numbers included 1857 painters, 320 sculptors, 715 architects, 162 engravers, and 151 were not specified. From 1769 there had been 46 female students admitted to the school. See Royal Academy 'Annual Report', (1872), pp. 34-38.
The 1872 report notes that a petition to the Council, signed by 22 female students, that a separate Life School for female artists should be established. This request was 'declared inexpedient, and unanimously refused (see 'Annual Report', (1875), p. 7).
In 1876 55 male and 14 female students attended the Antique School. Of these students 58 were painters, 10 were sculptors, and 1 was an architect. 82 painters, 8 sculptors, and 1 architect attended the Life School. 79 painters and 4 sculptors attended the School of Painting: in this school there were 48 male and 35 female students. In the Preliminary School there were 46 male and 21 female students; 62 were painters and 5 were sculptors. The 1876 report records the number of female students admitted since 1860 as 92. There were 93 new students admitted in 1876: 48 painters, 5 sculptors, and 40 architects. See Royal Academy 'Annual Report, 1876', (1879), p. 30.
In the 1878 Annual Report its is recorded that a petition that was signed by 35 female students requesting that they should be allowed to study from the semi-draped figure, was declined by the Council. See 'Annual Report, 1878', (1879), p. 18.
The 1881 Annual Report records that 'the period of studentship is reduced from seven to six years, and is divided into two terms of three years each. At the end of the first term Students in Painting and Sculpture who have obtained admission into the Upper Painting School or the School of Modelling from Life respectively, are required to pass an examination; and, if successful, they are admitted for another three years'. The report also records that 'a new School has been established called "The School of Modellling from the Life," for Male Students only'. The school was open in the evenings and was run by a 'special Curator', and also attended by Visitors. A class for modelling was also established in this year for architects. See 'Annual Report, 1881', (1882), pp. 15-16.
In 1881 59 painters and 2 sculptors attended the Antique School. 61 painters and 4 sculptors studied in the Life School. 97 painters attended the School of Modelling, 36 attended the School of the Nude Model. 66 painters and 2 sculptors attended the Preliminary School: 28 were males and 38 females students. The total numbers of students admitted to the school in 1881 were 32 painters, 3 sculptors, and 26 architects. The total number of female students admitted to the school from 1860 to 1881 was 155. See Royal Academy, 'Annual Report, 1881', (1882), p. 45.
The 1882 report records that 'the maximum number of weekly attendances by the visitors in the School of Modelling from the Life should be the same as in the School of Drawing from the Life, viz., three'. See 'Annual Report, 1882', (1883), p. 15.
In 1883, a petition by 64 female students was implemented by the Council to establish a class for female students for the study of the partially draped figure. See 'Annual Report, 1883', (1884), p. 16.
In 1885, it is recorded that 'in order to enable Female Students in Sculpture to do the work required of them for passing the Examination for the Second Term of Studentship, a Model for the Head has been provided, which sits at the same time as the Living Model for the Male Students, but in a different room. See Royal Academy, 'Annual Report, 1885', (1886), p. 18.
The 1886 Annual Report records that 'as Male Students in the Life School have the privilege of modelling in the Life Modelling School, the Council have decided that Female Students in the Painting School are entitled to the privilege of modelling from the head in the Life Modelling School' (see p. 16).
The 1888 Annual Report records that 'the attendance of Students in the Upper Painting School, Life School, Preliminary School, and School of Modelling from the Life for Male Students, has been good, and much of the work done extremely satisfactory. The attendance in the Evening Antique School and the School of Modelling from the Life for Female Students, has been, throughout the past year, small and desultory'. The report also states that 'the real number of working Students in the Evening and Antique School and Modelling School for Female Students is rarely more than three in each case, and is often less'. See 'Annual Report, 1888', (1889), p. 31.
Some changes were made to the courses offered by the school in 1889. The report recorded that 'a Day School of Modelling is to be established for Male and Female Students at an estimated annual cost of £266, to be open three days in the week from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m: and the Evening School of Modelling is to be for Male Students only'. It also recorded that the course of study in the schools for students in sculpture should be as follows: '(a) The Students on admission shall study for three days in the week in the Antique School modelling from Antique Casts; and for the other three days in the week in the School of Modelling, modelling Heads or Extremities from the Living Model. (b) They shall submit to the Council specimens of each of the above-named kins of work; and if successful (c) Shall study for two days in the week in the Antique School modelling from Antique Casts; and for the other four days in the week in the School of Modelling, the Male Students modelling from a Figure from the Life, and the Female Students modelling from a Head and Extremities from the Life. (d) They shall then submit to the Council specimens of each of the above-named kinds of work; and if successful (e) Shall be admitted to study all the week in the School of Modelling, the Male Students from the Living Model, Nude and Draped, and the Female Students from a Head from the Life, and from the Living Model, Draped. See 'Annual Report, 1889', (1890), p. 15 and pp. 68-69.
In 1890 its is recorded that 'the Professorship of Sculpture still being vacant, all the Members in that class were asked by the Council to deliver Lectures, but non complied with the request'. See 'Annual Report, 1890', (1891), p. 16. In the same year separate prizes were offered for male and female sculpture students: male students could compete for prizes for a 'set of three models of a figure from the life', and female students for a 'model of a bust from the life' (see p. 29).
In 1891, it is recorded that sculpture students were not permitted to enter the Upper or Lower Schools of Painting 'without first passing the tests for admission to either of these Schools'. Female students in sculpture were asked to submit a 'model in the round of a draped figure from the life', rather than a 'model in low relief of a figure from the antique', for the Landseer Scholarships. See 'Annual Report, 1891', (1892), p. 21.
In 1891, 8 painters and 9 architects were admitted to the school; there were no new sculpture students. The average daily attendance figures for male students to the School of Modelling from the Life were, 3 to the day school and 4 to the evening school. The highest monthly average attendance was 54 to the day, and 138 to the evening, and the lowest monthly average was 20 and 38 to the same schools. This compared to a daily average of 2 female students, a highest monthly figure of 45, and a lowest monthly average of 5, attending the day school (female students were not permitted to attend the evening school at this time).
The School of Sculpture and the School of Architecture was both closed during the war in 1916 and 1917. See 'Annual Report, 1916', (1917), p. 28.
All of the Schools were closed during the war from 1941 to 1945. The School of Sculpture closed half way through the year in 1940 and opened part way through the year in 1946.
In 1951, 33 students were newly admitted to the school, of which only one was for sculpture. The total number of students attending the Academy Schools from 1769 to 1951 was 6,122 - of which 915 were female, and 584 were sculpture students (this compares to 3,504 for painting and drawing). Figures for the total numbers of attendance to classes annually are recorded in the 1951 Annual Report. The figures for sculpture students are as follows:
1939 - 1,064
1940 (for 6 months) - 320
1946 (for three months) - 182
1947 - 894
