About this course
During the course you will be introduced to a range of drawing and painting media, techniques and processes that are simple but creative and will enable you to produce observational drawings from a range of subject matter.
Each session will focus on different formal elements such as line, tone, texture, pattern, form and colour which will be explored through both drawing and painting and will act as a steppingstone to the next session's activities. You will try out different techniques that will extend your existing knowledge and you will be encouraged to experiment with new media to develop your practical artwork further
You will learn about different drawing and painting techniques and how to use line, tone and colour creatively through looking at and discussing other artists' work and by demonstrations, personal experimentation and individual tuition.
By the end of the course everyone will have explored and gained confidence with some essential drawing and painting techniques, produced finished images and gained skills for future art and design work.
You will be able to:
- Discuss how other artists have used line, tone and colour to produce creative imagery.
- Using line drawing to describe shape, pattern and texture.
- Using tone to describe form, space, and contrast.
- Using colour to explore shape, space, and contrast.
