I recall seeing such documentaries at school when I was young. No such thing any longer - unimaginable that kids today would be exposed to such wonderful thing in their education.

British art

Thank you so much for including the documentary about British art. It was incredibly interesting. Fascinating to see Vaughan applying pigment to his canvas.

Vaughan’s comments on what should and should not be taught to art students is absolute common sense – wish that some of those values were taught today!

Hunting through the archive

In response to: KEITH VAUGHAN: FILM, TELEVISION & RADIO

If only there was a way of hunting through the archive at Granada Television! It would be amazing to locate that documentary for schools that Vaughan was featured in. I would love to hear his voice. The same applies to the radio broadcast with him and Patrick Procktor. Perhaps one day these will turn up.

Many of Vaughan’s pencil drawing of the male nude were, in fact, made in the life class at the Slade with his students.

One forgets that many painters also make a living as teachers. Vaughan was very established by the 1960s and did not have to go on working with students. However, it seems that he found the process highly beneficial.
