Course programme

Topics covered


  • The first part of the course provides you with a basic understanding of the language of painting looking at colour, form, space and light.
  • We will see how artists have taken each aspect of the language and pushed it to extremes. How is a Fauve painting different from an impressionist painting? How is Lucian Freud different from a Francis Bacon?
  • Gradually, we will explore individually motivated projects that might involve: painting directly from life, from drawings and photographs, or using note-taking, found images or objects.
  • Subjects could include: life models, still life, interiors, or a view from a window, the street or the city.
  • Optional out of college assignments may also be set.

Outcomes


The course provides an opportunity for you to practice some key painting techniques and develop your confidence and personal style as a painter.

By the end of the course you will also have explored other artists’ techniques, approaches and subject matters.
