 |
|
Now Taking enrolments for term three Foundation Drawing and Painting Classes.
Foundation Drawing and Painting Class
An introductory class aimed at exploring the basic elements of drawing and painting. There will be an emphasis on building confidence, developing observational and analytical skills, practical techniques, and material exploration. Students will also explore colour theory, composition, painting techniques and materials. There will be one life drawing session within the term to introduce and explore figure drawing and to build on other skills.
This is not just a skill class however, as the tutor aims to give participants an understanding and insight into other aspects of creating art, including generating ideas, exploration and discussion of other artists, and tools to help to integrate creativity into the students life. Classes are relaxed and informal and aim to provide a basic knowledge to students who wish to pursue their work further, and possibly go on to join a mentored art group.
