Tate Masterclass: Life Drawing with Eileen Hogan

As part of 'Reception, Rupture and Return: The Model and the Life Room', Tate invited five well-known artists to teach a Life Drawing Masterclass, each from his or her own unique perspective. Eileen Hogan was one of the invited artists. In both her teaching and her painting, Eileen Hogan considers the way that stories underlie how we see. Since her extensive training at Camberwell School of Art, the Royal Academy, and the Royal College of Art, she has explored the complicated intersection of practice and pedagogy.
