Course Description

Description

This course will introduce you to the essential first principles of drawing through group and individual tuition and help you develop your own practice and individual vision.

Each day you will explore particular aspects of drawing and experiment with a variety of techniques and materials. These include traditional methods of working such as observation of objects, the human form and light; the use of line, measurement, scale, and proportion; the organisation of pictorial space; materials and surface; investigating transcription and translation of existing art works; contemporary ideas about spontaneity, memory, imagination, abstraction and construction, and recording the creative process. In the second week, you'll be encouraged to explore and nurture ideas through drawing. You will develop your own art practice and personal vision at your own pace. Regular critiques of work will be held, along with discussions of future plans at the end of the course.
