This summer school offers 5 days of experimentation and exploration of contemporary art practices. You will be able to investigate a range of art materials and processes, moving from observation drawing and painting to collage, transcriptions and abstraction. You will be able to test out your abilities in mark making, colour mixing and find new ways of working with abstraction and the expanded field of painting. Each day will focus on a set theme or subject enabling you to develop your own abilities and discover how different artists interpret similar subjects.
This is a relaxed class focussed on enabling you to develop a personal visual language and is suitable for all abilities.
There are some extra costs with this course, as you will need to buy the relevant materials.
