Course overview
Course description
This course will introduce you to drawing and painting techniques and encourage you to explore techniques with drawing materials and collage. You will look at use of colour in art and how to put pictures together. Drawing techniques such as hatching and stippling will be connected with the ones in painting, using brushstrokes. Students will get a chance to practice drawing and painting in a sensitive way, making sure that both beginners and more advanced students feel comfortable with trying the exercises and making sure that they have a chance to share ideas, discuss artists work and feel inspired by each other. On this course you will learn how to read different artworks by examining the various steps and techniques that were involved in creating them; this will offer you an enriched appreciation of paintings, and a more thorough understanding of their visual elements. You will also have an overview of the artist’s works with discussion of their artistic intention and personal philosophy. The course aims to empower students to create personal, original artworks inspired by the paintings and to discover a personal painting style. By the end of the course, you will be part of a community of creatives.
