This two-week course will help you develop the abstract qualities within your creative artistic practice.
You'll do this through practical experimentations with painting and mixed-media techniques.
The aim of the course is to expand ideas around representation and abstraction through a hands-on exploration of historic and contemporary material processes.
You'll learn about historical art movements as well as the changing role of abstraction in contemporary practice, its processes and its relationship to figuration.
The course runs from 9.30am to 4.30pm each day. You'll also have the option of attending extra-curricular events such as talks and exhibitions on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
This course is part of the annual summer school run by the Slade School of Fine Art at UCL.
