What is the course about? The course is structured across a year to provide a varied experience, but can be taken on a termly basis. Each term will have a different emphasis. You will need to be motivated and able to take the initiative to further develop your work. Term 1: Non-representational art: The act of painting Term 2: The interior Term 3: Interpreting Landscape - Cityscapes What will the course cover? Term 1: September to December Non-representational art: The act of painting You will encounter different approaches to making abstract paintings while developing and extending your knowledge and understanding of painting techniques and materials. Research and take inspiration from the work of abstract artists and explore their visual language. Examine major themes in non-representational art, including: colour, texture, gesture and concept. Investigate impasto, hard edge, colour field painting, gestural mark making and mixed media. Learn how to develop your own abstract images, explore different painting techniques and find ways to increase your confidence of and mastery in abstract painting. As the course progresses you will gain in depth experience and specialist knowledge needed to progress towards professional personal practice. Depending on your personal choice, this could be a portfolio collection demonstrating your creative skills for further study. The subject matter you work from and the level of abstraction can be open and set by you, but you will have gained many ideas from the tutor lead activities. In addition you can also collect imagery (internet and magazines) to work from. Outcomes will vary according to the individuals' aims and experience. Advanced students will be able to take techniques and extend their possibilities through further experimentation or application to the specific project.
