Through the introduction
of traditional and contemporary modes of observation and the exploration of the
use of medium, students will be allowed the freedom to find their own visual
language. As students' work develops, a historical and contextual engagement
relating to their own way of working will be discussed and taught.
Students will partake in the drawing and painting of a still life set up in the studio. The tutor will be on hand at all times to discuss individuals work and offer advice when required.
At the end of the five week course students will have had the opportunity to produce a selection of drawings and paintings in a range of materials and leave with a greater understanding of their own abilities.
