The Hastings School of Art was an art school in Hastings, England, located at the Brassey Institute on the top two floors of the library building at Claremont.
Background and history
The Hastings School of Art was established in 1882. It is a private colleg, coeducational, and focused on the liberal arts. Students have the ability to live on campus because it is a residential college. In August 1873, the proposal for a Christian college directed towards the liberal arts was presented to the Kearney Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church. Before it was presented to the Kearney Presbytery, it was approved by the community. On 13 September 1882, the first class of 44 students entered the new college located on the second floor of the old Post Office. It started with five teachers. It took two years to complete the first building of Hastings Art School called the McCormick Hall.[1]
Information
Its former students include Maurice Charles John Wilson, Frank Dobson, Eric Slater, Jean Rees, Harold Gilman, and the marine artist Louis Dodd. The school had many Victorian casts for the students to work from including a Vatican reproduction of Michelangelo's Madonna and Child relief, which is still on show at the current art department. The art department was moved to the main college campus in Archery Road, St Leonards-on-Sea in 1982.
