About James

I am a practising Artist and Educator with 20 years of experience in teaching, and really enjoy working with students from all backgrounds and communities to explore their creativity and helping them to identify their Art or Design pathway. Prior to my career in education, I have independent practice as an artist/designer within a range of creative industries. I completed a Masters Degree at the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne (2:1) (Erasmus Exchange Scholar Malmo Sweden), a postgraduate certificate in Stage Design from the famous Motley Course, a degree in Fine Art (1:1), Harrow College of Art (now University of Westminster). I also have a postgrad certificate of Education (PGCE) from the University of the West of England, and an up-to-date enhanced DBS check. The UAL Foundation Art & Design course I established and led at Bristol College had consistently 100% success in progressing applying students to the University degrees of their choice, including mature students with 1st degrees in other areas to masters programmes. In my work as an independent tutor I am hugely enjoying supporting students 1:1. I have worked with students aged from 16 to 60 to secure places on a wide range of prestigious UK art schools, including UAL programmes in Fine Art (Central/St Martins) and in 3D Design (Camberwell), Textile Design at Manchester School of Art, Illustration at Brighton, and Graphic Design at the University of Kingston and many, many more. T My present personal practice explores place and memory through painted texture, using drawing, acrylic and oil paint. I have also worked in many printmaking processes, and 3D making.

About the lesson

I have 20 years of experience of delivering a broad-ranging Art History study programme to Foundation Art & Design students, and of providing art history lessons to complete novices in the corporate sector. Whether you are applying to university, need support with coursework as a GCSE/'A' level or degree level student, or want to improve your art historical knowledge or for your own personal/professional development, I can provide a one-off or a programme of online, or in-person tutoring that is tailored to your requirements. With an extensive and up-to-date knowledge of contemporary and historical themes and trends in Art I can teach you about the context that work exists in, in a way that is relevant and meaningful to the world we live in. I will work with you to develop your understanding of the important conceptual thinking skills that bring meaning and relevance to work in any discipline. My approach to teaching is always inclusive and student-centred, and I won’t shy away from giving you constructive criticism to better support your developing understanding of the subject. Gallery Visits: I regularly take Art students on study visits to studios, galleries and museums in London and other cities in the UK, and have taken groups on residential study trips abroad to Berlin, Florence, and Barcelona, and can also offer guided visits to support your personal curriculum needs and interests. Contact me for a free initial 30 min consultative session where we can discuss your requirements, and look at building a programme of sessions specifically designed for you.

James is a passionate tutor who is very supportive and always ready to listen to their students in need. Which is a great quality as art is such a subjective and vast field and students need guidance along the way.

My name is Rama Azkoul,
Graduated with first class couple years ago from the Drawing & Print course at UWE in Bristol.
My journey began when I started studying art in the city of Bristol college, with completely different background as I was studying Low back home in Syria, however, I was so lucky to have James O’dwyer as my professional Art tutor. I had the privilege of learning from him, and I highly recommend him for his exceptional teaching skills. James has a unique ability to inspire and engage students, creating a positive and supportive learning environment.
He is a very understanding teacher. I am deeply grateful for him, I loved his teaching style! I always looked forward to his sessions because of the way he make learning fun!
He was fantastic. He's the first best tutor I've ever had in the UK since I started studying here, and he made the subject easier to understand.
I just wanted to say in my recommendation
Thank you very much, James for your wonderful teaching! I have been challenged to work hard towards achieving my goals in life.
You are one of the few teachers that inspire students like me to always strive to be better at everything I do. I remain ever grateful for your impact and the very best challenging year in my life & never going to forget it! Thanks for being such an excellent teacher!
