I'D LIKE TO ....
At the last class, everyone was invited to identify aspects of their art that they'd like to improve; responses boiled down into 5 areas.
In week 1 we'll look at using new media, making clean lines and other marks, and being abstract/ bold/ loose.
In week 2 we'll take a look at drawing accurately, particularly hands, and working from memory. Bring in a couple of simple objects, such as a leaf, a box or a sock for the memory work.
In week 3 we'll explore line making using a variety of materials and tools so bring along some of the following: paper, card, craft knife, masking tape, pens, pencils, charcoal, eraser, masking tape, ink.
In week 4 you'll be free to practise some of the skills and processes we've been looking at, and to develop some of your work from previous weeks . Bring paintings, materials and subject matter .
