About this course
Participants work from observation to examine line, tone, mark-making, form, spatial relationships and composition. Studio activities introduce measurement and visual comparison, while demonstrations, presentations, handouts and individual and group tutoring support the practical work. Examples by relevant artists are discussed alongside participants’ drawings, providing reference points for different methods and approaches. Group discussion and reflection are used to consider compositional decisions and the development of each drawing.
What you'll learn
- Apply drawing techniques to record subjects accurately from observation
- Use measurement and visual comparison when developing observational drawings
- Make compositional decisions about spatial relationships
- Identify methods and approaches used by relevant artists
- Reflect on learning in relation to an individual drawing
