About
THREE DAY SUMMER COURSE Art Extravaganza
DAY ONE: Drawing techniques in pencil, pastel and charcoal: Explore techniques of scribbling, hatching, cross hatching, on point, grazing, layering, blending, blocking in and lifting out. You will learn how to create tonal values and three dimensional effects through a range of practical exercises using colour and monochrome and working from still life arrangements.
DAY TWO: Figure drawing: We will be working from a model and explore a range of techniques for gestural drawing with short poses. We will discover measuring techniques and how to create dramatic tones using chiaroscuro. We will work up to describing a long pose in the afternoon.
DAY THREE: Abstraction and working in acrylic paint: We will discover the origins and history of abstract art as well as acrylic paint. We will work on various techniques for mixing colour and creating different consistency with acrylic paint by using different mediums. We will explore abstract expressionism and make work using techniques from this art genre.
Please bring your own art materials - there will be a selection to try out and you will be given a discount card for the art shop Cowling and Wilcox in Camberwell.
