Total Drawing Short Course

Course description

Total Drawing Short Course will help you develop core skills that have a wide range of creative applications. Whether you are a beginner or have some drawing experience, you will be introduced to a variety of drawing materials and approaches.

One half of the course will be spent working through short, simple exercises that introduce new ways of looking at individual objects, the still life and the model. To strengthen the abstract qualities in your work and help overcome literal-mindedness, time will be given to analysing form in space, studying light and shade and considering composition and pictorial design.

In the other half of the course, you will be introduced to simple techniques and experimental processes which enable you to develop a more personal or meaningful interpretation of your subject matter.
