Course overview
Course description
The tutor (a professional exhibiting artist) will discuss a range of artists’ drawing styles in an interactive illustrated visual presentation looking at the art of Leonardo, Van Gogh, John Ruskin, Georgia O’ Keeffe and countless contemporary examples. Links will be placed in the Canvas modules signposting you to extra information to support your development, plus the details of slides discussed during the lesson. The tutor will show a filmed demo to give you an example of how to achieve this (and sometimes what not to do!) The group will then be directed to carry out the task, looking at chosen everyday objects in pencil, charcoal, pen and ink, having been placed in a ‘breakout room’ in which a smaller selection of students congregate in order to be given appropriate advice and direction from the tutor. You get to see how the others are doing, which can be fascinating - everyone will have a different approach. The emphasis will be on building a range of skills: composition, line and tone with a variety of media that will expand your visual vocabulary. Learn in a fun and stimulating environment with likeminded people and develop your own drawing style.
