You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Life class at the Royal Female School of Art, 1868.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|right|Life class at the Royal Female School of Art, 1868]]
The '''Royal Female School of Art''' was a professional institution for the training of women in art and design. It was founded in 1842, as part of the Government School of Design, predecessor of the [[Royal College of Art]].

The Female School of Design was moved in 1849 out of Somerset House, which until then accommodated both male and female classes, and remained in separate premises for the rest of its life, notably in [[Gower Street, London|Gower Street]] from 1852, then [[Queen Square, London|Queen Square]] from 1860. When [[Henry Cole]] took over management of the Schools of Design in 1852 he established more advanced and technical classes for women within the senior, central school, which moved to [[South Kensington]] in 1858.

Many of the students of the Female School during the 1840s and 1850s moved on from Gower Street to study in the more advanced classes, and some of them returned, over the course of the 1850s, to the Female School of Art in Gower Street as teachers.  Others were sent to head up the female branches of government art schools in Edinburgh ([[Susan Ashworth]]) and Dublin (Mary Julyan). In 1860 the Female School of Art was put on the same financial basis as other branch Schools of Design, resulting in a reduction in its public subsidy and necessitating a change of location and management while it remained affiliated to the national institution.  These arrangements continued until 1909 when it was transferred to the control of [[London County Council]], initially via the [[Central School of Art and Design]] (now part of the [[University of the Arts London]]), with which it was merged from 1914.<ref>UCL</ref>

The first Headmistress of the Female School of Art was English artist [[Fanny McIan]], who oversaw the first fifteen years of its life, retiring in 1857.  She was succeeded by Louisa Gann, who had been trained in the Female School of Design, and who, with her core team of teachers trained at South Kensington, managed the Female School of Art throughout its third phase of life, in Queen Square, between 1860 and 1909, and obtained the title Royal Female School of Art in 1885.  The emphasis of tuition, which followed to a great extent, but was not confined to, the 'syllabus' established by the national school at South Kensington, was to equip students to gain an income from work as artists, designers, illustrators and teachers, and many pursued all of these activities in the course of their subsequent careers. In 1894 Louisa Gann claimed in a newspaper interview that the majority of students who had completed the course over the years had found work.  Alumnae who became well-known exhibiting artists include:
* [[Helen Allingham]]
* [[Eliza Mary Burgess]] 
* [[Evelyn Cheston]]
* [[Maud Earl]]
* [[Clotilde Graves]]
* [[Henrietta Rae]]
* [[Louisa Starr]]
* [[Eliza Turck]]
