Overview
The first 3 weeks of the course are experimental and creative drawing exercises to loosen up students’ drawing method, observe the whole subject matter rather than small details, sharpen observation, introduce ways of ‘seeing’ (ie positive space v negative space) and increase creative awareness.
The second 3 weeks involves slow drawing, closer observation, looking at details, playing with composition and arrangement, exploring lines of enquiry, working towards finished pieces, introducing colour, allowing students to introduce subject matter and ideas of their own to pursue.
To assist in this, a journal will kept by students for the duration of the course in the form of a sketch book, exercise book, series of sheets in a folio etc. This will contain notes taken in class, ideas, articles of interest, roughs, photographs, research material, etc.
The course will aim to produce a series of finished drawings (as defined by the student) presented and explained by students at the final class.
Course cost $280
