点评:Three generations of our family signed up for the life drawing class advertised at the Lady Lever today, coming from Wales to attend. Ten minutes from the start time, we received a phone call from a very apologetic member of staff to tell us the session was cancelled, as the tutor had called in sick. Initially a little disappointed, we asked the very friendly staff if we could go ahead sketch within the gallery anyway. They helpfully provided seats, clipboards and even extra paper. This ‘rescued’ our otherwise spoiled excursion.
A suggestion I would like to make is that if a workshop like this has to be cancelled at such VERY short notice, it would be quite easy to offer an opportunity to do exactly what we did, perhaps with ‘support’ from an artistically minded member of regular staff.
I felt very sorry for the person who bravely had to contact participants who would already have made their arrangements and journey at possibly significant expense, I imagine many will have been disgruntled.
The gallery is wonderful, I’ve been many times, can’t recommend it enough for the pre-Raphaelite art, the building and location.
翻译:今天,我们全家三代人都报名参加了莱迪·利弗美术馆(Lady Lever)的人体素描课,特地从威尔士赶来。开课前十分钟,我们接到一位工作人员的电话,对方非常抱歉地告诉我们,课程取消了,因为老师生病了。起初我们有点失望,但还是询问了非常友好的工作人员,是否可以在美术馆里继续写生。他们很贴心地提供了座位、写字板,甚至还提供了额外的纸张。这真是“拯救”了我们原本可能被破坏的行程。
我建议,如果像这样的工作坊必须在如此短的时间内取消,美术馆完全可以提供一个像我们一样的写生机会,或许还可以安排一位有艺术细胞的常驻工作人员来“指导”。
我非常同情那位勇敢地联系学员的工作人员,他们可能已经安排好了行程,并且可能花费了不少钱,我想很多人都会感到不满。
这家画廊很棒,我去过很多次了,强烈推荐大家去参观,无论是前拉斐尔派艺术作品、建筑本身还是地理位置都非常出色。
