About our Art Development CoursesMy philosophy is to follow the student.
We begin by discussing what the students individual interests are and researching to initiate the process of creating around those interests. Searching for visual references, experimentation and drawing, in the wider sense of the word, is usually the point of all beginnings. Once ideas are brought to the fore, students can expand their exploration into other disciplines such as painting, mixed media or sculpture depending on which mediums their subject dictates. Your tutor will demonstrate the techniques you will need to employ throughout each chosen project. We will also study other artists who display similar styles, techniques or interests with their work, to help inform the students direction. Throughout the terms there will be a mix of tutor directed group work as well as the individual student initiated learning. At MEGANZ SVA you can begin your creative journey from these disciplines below - Drawing - Traditional and contemporary drawing Painting - Acrylic/Oils/ Watercolour and mixed media Sculpture - Clay, Polymer Clay, Collage and Mixed media... Research - A Visual Diary is used for your thinking/planning side to your work. We would like you to have a Visual Diary to enable you to collect your thoughts and ideas around your chosen subject. When researching you can look on the internet to collect online images, take your own photo references, draw from your imagination, do observational drawings to add to your brains image bank. You can find phrases/poems you like, record your colour tests for paintings you are working on, etc, etc. Your visual diary is also great for looking back on your work and seeing your progress, clarifying your ideas and expanding on what you have done before. 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). Our Art Development courses are aimed at - Tweens, Teens and Adults Because students work on their own projects and at their own pace I have mixed ages within most of the classes. Class sizes are kept to no more then eight students per class. Hope to see you and/or your child soon.. |
