She taught how to look properly,
to be aware of the body, in its
movement, proportion, the bones,
details, using the layout of the page,
use of media and so on. This
affected me in the most profound
way. Drawing was an elective subject
in the design school. When working
in the drawing studio we always
drew from life models of various
shapes and sizes. The quality of the
teaching was evident in the results
and the standards of both design
and drawing in the school. All the
tutors were able to draw. The
philosophy of the school then, as
now, was to enable the student
to develop their confidence, to
be themselves.
