Module 1: Drawing<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=\u201daos-fade-up aos-delay-100 aos-duration-800 aos-easing-ease\u201d]Overview: We begin our 14-week course with a step-by-step drawing module in which we cover the fundamentals of creating art.<\/p>\n

During the drawing module we\u2019ll look at different grades of graphite pencil and the effects that they achieve, what paper students should be using and practise mark-making for different textures and styles. We also look at tonal values, observation and sighting, enlarging with grids, perspective, portraiture and figurative drawing. Soon you\u2019ll be viewing everything as an artist would!<\/p>\n

The drawing techniques continue to be developed throughout the course and beyond, as we learn to use simple shapes to construct an object, create initial sketches and balanced compositions, and make under-drawings in preparation for raw paintings!<\/p>\n

Module 2: Oil pastels<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=\u201daos-fade-up aos-delay-100 aos-duration-800 aos-easing-ease\u201d]Overview: Our next module focuses on colourful oil pastels. Oil pastels are a stepping stone between pencil sketching and using a wet painting medium.<\/p>\n

Oil pastels were designed by Picasso, who asked a chemist friend to create this versatile new medium. Oil pastel is a more portable and practical version of oil paint. We opted for oil pastels because oil painting is not practical for our classes, due to both toxic smells and extended drying times. The oil pastel is a wonderful alternative and has delighted our students who often assume they were like crayons\u2026 until they were taught how to use them!<\/p>\n

This module is an opportunity to introduce mixing and blending pigments. We also look at the colour wheel, we also explore colour theory and colour harmony and how pigments look on an array of coloured papers. We also explore the different effects achieved with tools, such as rubber-tipped blending sticks and tortillons.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column parallax=\u201dcontent-moving\u201d parallax_image=\u201d4248\u2033 offset=\u201dvc_col-lg-offset-1 vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6\u2033 el_class=\u201dintro-image-3 aos-zoom-in aos-duration-600 aos-easing-ease-in-out\u201d][vc_raw_html]JTNDZGl2JTIwY2xhc3MlM0QlMjJiaWctbnVtYmVyJTIyJTNFT2lsJTIwUGFzdGVscyUzQyUyRmRpdiUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=\u201d.vc_custom_1700559857720{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}\u201d el_class=\u201dscrollcontrol-holder\u201d][vc_column][vc_raw_html css=\u201d.vc_custom_1700560306764{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;}\u201d]JTNDZGl2JTIwY2xhc3MlM0QlMjJzY3JvbGxjb250cm9sbGVyJTIyJTIwaWQlM0QlMjJ3YXRlcmNvbG91cnMlMjIlM0UlM0MlMkZkaXYlM0U=[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row et_full_width=\u201dtrue\u201d et_row_padding=\u201dtrue\u201d equal_height=\u201dyes\u201d content_placement=\u201dmiddle\u201d el_class=\u201dbig-padding section-wide swap-on-tablet grey-grad\u201d][vc_column et_column_color=\u201det-light-column\u201d parallax=\u201dcontent-moving\u201d parallax_image=\u201d4254\u2033 offset=\u201dvc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6\u2033 el_class=\u201dintro-image-2 aos-zoom-in aos-duration-600 aos-easing-ease-in-out\u201d css=\u201d.vc_custom_1700388283065{padding-top: 0px !important;}\u201d][vc_raw_html]JTNDZGl2JTIwY2xhc3MlM0QlMjJiaWctbnVtYmVyJTIyJTNFV2F0ZXJjb2xvdXJzJTNDJTJGZGl2JTNF[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][vc_column offset=\u201dvc_col-lg-offset-1 vc_col-lg-5 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-5\u2033 el_class=\u201dintro-text-2\u2033][vc_column_text el_class=\u201dh2 aos-fade-up aos-duration-900 aos-easing-ease\u201d css=\u201d.vc_custom_1700237619780{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}\u201d]\n

Module 3: Watercolours<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=\u201daos-fade-up aos-delay-100 aos-duration-800 aos-easing-ease\u201d]Watercolour paints are known for their transparent and luminous quality and are a popular medium because it is highly portable and versatile. \u200b<\/p>\n

During our watercolour module you\u2019ll learn how to prepare your paper and use the tools and different techniques to get different effects.<\/p>\n

We explore the tools of the trade and the many techniques to create a range of effects. We also continue to build on the drawing element, as our students learn how to plan and create underdrawings for their compositions.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=\u201d.vc_custom_1700559857720{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}\u201d el_class=\u201dscrollcontrol-holder\u201d][vc_column][vc_raw_html css=\u201d.vc_custom_1700560351015{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;}\u201d]JTNDZGl2JTIwY2xhc3MlM0QlMjJzY3JvbGxjb250cm9sbGVyJTIyJTIwaWQlM0QlMjJhY3J5bGljcyUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRmRpdiUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row et_full_width=\u201dtrue\u201d et_row_padding=\u201dtrue\u201d el_class=\u201dsection-wide big-padding-top\u201d css=\u201d.vc_custom_1700560343437{background-color: #f7f7f7 !important;}\u201d][vc_column][vc_row_inner et_max_width=\u201d\u201d et_row_padding=\u201dtrue\u201d][vc_column_inner animation=\u201danimation bottom-to-top\u201d][vc_column_text animation=\u201danimation bottom-to-top\u201d css=\u201d.vc_custom_1700406665605{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}\u201d el_class=\u201dh2 center-ls\u201d]\n

As with all of our modules, we begin acrylic painting at the grass roots. This includes learning about the medium, surfaces, various tools and application techniques such as impasto.<\/p>\n

There are four painting lessons \u2013 one of which is often dedicated entirely to the use of palette knives. We start with a simple painting to get students used to the huge difference in consistency and behaviour between this medium and the last.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u201d1\/2\u2033 animation=\u201danimation bottom-to-top\u201d offset=\u201dvc_col-lg-5 vc_col-md-6\u2033][vc_column_text]In this module we also look at aerial perspective (instead of the linear perspective we covered in the drawing module), we cover abstract painting as well as painting foliage and culminating in a landscape which uses all of the techniques learned in the previous lessons.<\/p>\n

By the end of this module you will have a wide repertoire of techniques and tools at your disposal. The carefully curated order of the abstract lessons has been done strategically so that students are able to explore the different techniques and develop a style of their own.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row et_full_width=\u201dtrue\u201d et_row_padding=\u201dtrue\u201d et_column_align=\u201dalign-center\u201d equal_height=\u201dyes\u201d el_class=\u201dsection-wide big-padding-bottom\u201d css=\u201d.vc_custom_1700402211206{background-color: #f7f7f7 !important;}\u201d][vc_column parallax=\u201dcontent-moving\u201d parallax_image=\u201d4311\u2033 offset=\u201dvc_col-lg-10\u2033 el_class=\u201dbig-parallax intro-image-4\u2033][vc_raw_html]JTNDZGl2JTIwY2xhc3MlM0QlMjJiaWctbnVtYmVyJTIyJTNFQWNyeWxpY3MlM0MlMkZkaXYlM0U=[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row et_full_width=\u201dtrue\u201d et_row_padding=\u201dtrue\u201d et_column_align=\u201dalign-center\u201d equal_height=\u201dyes\u201d content_placement=\u201dmiddle\u201d el_class=\u201dsection-wide big-padding\u201d][vc_column animation=\u201danimation bottom-to-top\u201d offset=\u201dvc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-6\u2033 el_class=\u201dintro-text-1\u2033][vc_column_text css=\u201d.vc_custom_1700404840013{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}\u201d el_class=\u201dh2\u2033]\n

At the end of our 14-week art course, we hold an exhibition to celebrate your progress and achievement with your new friends and all those you invite along \u2013 we\u2019ll give you tickets!<\/p>\n

The exhibition is promoted to the local community and is a wonderful way to get you into the idea of displaying your artwork and having the confidence to do so.

It\u2019s your enjoyment in and outside of class \u2013 a skill you get to take away with you and continue to enjoy, long after class is over. It\u2019s midweek coffee and chats with like-minded pals who live nearby. It\u2019s your favourite day of the week. It\u2019s creating artwork that your family and friends will treasure. And more than anything, it\u2019s being part of something bigger and knowing that you\u2019re so welcome here!\u201d<\/p>\n

As well as the four types of media, our course syllabus covers a broad range of challenges. Varied subject matter appeals to individual interests and also ensures that we get the very best out of our students.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner et_column_color=\u201det-light-column\u201d width=\u201d1\/2\u2033 animation=\u201danimation bottom-to-top\u201d offset=\u201dvc_col-lg-5 vc_col-md-6\u2033][vc_column_text]Our students have the opportunity to explore different types of subject matter and styles to find what resonates with them and where their natural affinities and talents lay.<\/p>\n

We supply all the required materials which allows our students to experiment before investing in their own art supplies and potentially purchasing the wrong things.<\/p>\n

With an extensive syllabus to cover, our classes are a full 3 hours to ensure our students have enough time to achieve something during the lesson. We also give our students handouts at the end of each class so they can take this information away with them.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner et_row_padding=\u201dtrue\u201d][vc_column_inner el_class=\u201dalign-change\u201d]\t\t
