WHAT IS ACADEMIC ART? HOW TO JUDGE PAINTING |
Situated in Kensington in the centre of London, The Royal College of Art (RCA) is one of the most influential, universities of art and design in the world. The RCA was founded in 1837 as the Government School of Design, and was located in the Strand. Following the Great Exhibition of 1851, it was radically transformed to accommodate fine art and applied art, as well as design, and moved to its current home in South Kensington. In 1896 it became the Royal College of Art. In 1967 the College was granted a Royal Charter, endowing it with university status and the power to grant its own art degrees.
