The UCL Slade School of Fine Art (informally The Slade) is the Faculty of Arts and Humanities.
The school traces its roots back to 1868 when lawyer and philanthropist Felix Slade (1788–1868) bequeathed funds to establish three Chairs in Fine Art, to be based at Oxford University, Cambridge University and University College London, where six studentships were endowed.
Distinguished past teachers include Lucian Freud, Phyllida Barlow, John Hilliard, Bruce McLean, Alfred Gerrard.
Edward Allington is currently a Professor of Fine Art and Head of Graduate Sculpture.[7]
Two of its most important periods were immediately before, and immediately after, the turn of the twentieth century, described by Henry Tonks as its two 'crises of brilliance'. The first included the students Augustus John, William Orpen and Percy Wyndham Lewis; the second – which has been chronicled in David Boyd Haycock's A Crisis of Brilliance: Five Young British Artists and the Great War (Old Street Publishing, 2009) – included the students Dora Carrington, Mark Gertler, Paul Nash, C.R.W. Nevinson and Sir Stanley Spencer.
The Slade art collection was started when the yearly prizes awarded to top students was combined with a collection scheme in 1897 and the Summer Composition Prize and the Figure and Head Painting Prizes began to be kept by the school.[8] Works by students and staff of the Slade School of Fine Art form the basis of the UCL Art museum today.[8]
In a 2008 survey conducted by The Sunday Times the Slade recorded perfect scores.[4]
