Pandora Art Education International brings together art lovers around the world to feed their passion and help them learn and grow. Our programmes help art enthusiasts understand and enjoy how looking at paintings and sculpture or indeed decorative arts can be enriching, energizing and relaxing at the same time. It’s fun, it’s a leisure activity, but it’s also educational and in many ways therapeutic. It is also a fulfilling career path for students, returners or transition to the art world.
Our art appreciation courses are for those with little prior knowledge of the art world who want to learn more and have a basis from which to explore their favourite genres. Others already know something but want to fill gaps in their knowledge.
After this, we can develop our curiosity by researching artists, their practice methods, their circles and the era which influenced their work directly or indirectly. People from different backgrounds can learn to interpret works from new perspectives such as sociology, psychology, history, commerce, literature or music.

The course includes a glimpse of the art market and its importance in the luxury industry and the world of the art collector.
The course is enriched with many supporting reference documents to keep handy to refer back to. Illustrated with images, these helpful checklists, glossaries and articles enable you to quickly understand and grasp the richness of art history and how elements fit together. This is the best foundation for having a handle on the breadth and depth of fine art which will help you move seamlessly to the next level – Art Management.
In the art appreciation course students learn why art is important in our society. They understand the structure of art history as a study and learn terms and vocabulary. Very often the terms can be off-putting or confusing, you may think you understand what they mean but are you sure? Through our narrated lessons or learning in the classroom, we explain this in an easy-to-understand way.
Artwork of The Month
Luke Sturgess
Our artwork of this month is Smirnoff Study by Luke Sturgess.
Luke is a mixed media fine art student based in Manchester, with a very high level of skill in oil painting, both small and large scale.
This piece of art is made to reflect the theme of memory and the similarities between sculpture and painting. Based on a photograph taken at a party, Luke took home a discarded bottle that had been drunk by friends and turned it into his canvas, making a piece of art to remember the night and the memories made, bequeathing meaning and beauty of memory onto this once discarded item. The rest of his work reflects on themes of identity and relationships, using many mediums to convey these themes. We love this piece as we feel it reflects the spirit of pop art yet the artist makes his own interpretation and adds a new twist of contemporaneity, combining the classical medium of oil paint and the modern mass-produced branded vodka bottle.
At a young age, he has already attained great success, competing in multiple Sky Arts competitions and getting a distinction in his Manchester Met foundation. Here at Pandora Art Services, we are very excited to see where his career takes him and encourage others to look at his work.
