Course programme

This tightly structured course is taught by figurative artists, each offering a different perspective.

You'll be guided through a series of studies with formal themes and activities aimed at expanding your visual understanding and language.

You'll explore:

  • how we look
  • ways in which information might be translated
  • the many and varied results thrown up by intense analytical enquiry

You'll also receive tuition in:

  • perceptually based methods of pictorial construction
  • articulation of colour-space, colour and expression
  • using a variety of drawing materials, both wet and dry

Individual tuition, informal discussion, slide talks and group critiques will provide a wider context to work you make in the studio.
