This five-week Saturday course will help you explore the first principles of painting. The idea of perception will be used as the starting point for visual enquiry.
You'll work from objects, the human figure, memory and secondary sources using oils or acrylic.
During the course you'll develop a set of criteria to explore ways of representing perceived objects. This will allow you to consider further possibilities within the wider remit of painting.
Classes are held from 10am to 4pm on five consecutive Saturdays.
This course is run by the Slade School of Fine Art at UCL.
