Overview

You'll:

• experiment with a variety of techniques and materials
• do some life drawing

The course runs on Monday evenings, from 6pm to 8:30pm.

Course content

By using drawing as a way of articulating form and as a tool for thinking, you'll be encouraged to:

• explore and nurture ideas through drawing
• use drawing as an inspiration for your own art practice

You'll work almost entirely from observation, using the idea of perception as the starting point for visual enquiry. In some sessions you'll draw from a life model. 

You'll explore:

• light and tone
• materials and surface
• space and line
• composition
• measurement
• proportion
• drawing systems such as perspective

You'll also experiment with a variety of techniques and materials including pencil, ink, white chalk, willow and compressed charcoal.
