Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design
The Central Saint Martins is a College of Art and Design in London .
The college is part of the University of the Arts London , which was granted independent university status in 2004.
The beginnings of the university lie in the arts and crafts movement of the 19th century and thus in the reform movements of art school education in the age of industrialization and imperialism . It also represented a countermovement to the academy tradition of the Royal Academy of Arts (founded 1768) in the United Kingdom.
In the 1960s and 1970s, St Martins was one of the most influential art schools in England with students such as Gilbert & George and Richard Long . For many musicians from the punk and new wave environment , Saint Martins was a central meeting point.
In 1986 the college was integrated into the newly founded London Institute, an amalgamation of art colleges, and in 1989 the Central School of Art & Design (founded in 1896) was linked to St Martin's School of Art (founded in 1854).
The London Drama Center was added in 1999 and the Byam Shaw School of Art in 2003 . In 2011 she moved to one of the largest urban renewal areas in London north of the center, behind the two railway stations of St. Pancras International and King's Cross Station. In 2014 Central Saint Martins College lost the “College of Arts and Design” and is designated CSM .
The college offers degree programs in the arts and design, in which bachelor and master degrees can be achieved. These include the fields of art, fashion, culture and enterprise, jewelry and textiles, product, ceramics and industrial design, communication design, architecture, drama and performance. In 2017 it had over 4,000 students.
Well-known fashion designers such as John Galliano , Alexander McQueen , Gareth Pugh and Stella McCartney studied fashion design there and are now successfully employed as designers at haute couture houses such as Christian Dior .
