About our Art Development CoursesMy philosophy is to follow the student.
We begin by discussing what the students individual interests are. We talk about what we will need to research to begin the process of creating around their interests. Drawing is usually the point of all beginnings but doesn't have to be. The student can then branch out into other disciplines such as painting, mixed media or sculpture depending on which mediums they would like to explore or what their subject dictates. Your tutor will demonstrate the techniques you will need to employ throughout your chosen project. Also throughout the terms there will be a mix of tutor directed group work and individual student initiated learning. You can begin your creative journey from these disciplines below - Drawing - Traditional and contemporary drawing exercises, character development, cartoons, children's book Illustration, perspective drawing, ink and wash, portraiture, landscapes, still-life, abstract... etc, etc. Using all sorts of drawing tools. Painting - Acrylic/Oils/ Watercolour and mixed media Sculpture - Clay, Polymer Clay, Collage and Mixed media... Research - Your subject by using a visual diary to record sketches, thoughts and ideas, add your photos, print and collect online images and info, do observational drawings, do onsite observations, colour tests, etc,... A visual Diary is used for your thinking/planning side to your work. This course is also ideal for college-age students who need help with their Art-boards and to create and accumulate work for University Portfolios. (Casual classes are available at a slightly higher rate, see below. Handy during exam times). The Art Development courses are aimed at - Tweens, Teens and Adults (Classes are kept to small numbers per class. No more than eight per class, for more individual attention) |
