Art Fundamentals is an 8 week beginners art course for adults where you'll take time to nurture your creativity, learn new skills and connect with others who value doing the same.
In the first 3 sessions, you'll learn how to draw with graphite pencils. I'll show you ways to create a pleasing composition and you'll choose a landscape scene that you'd like to work with for the duration of the course. This could be inspired by an existing photo or a new photo that you take with the assignment in mind.
Each class will build on the one before it and with your newfound drawing skills, you'll create a tonal drawing of your chosen composition. This drawing (aka "study" in artist speak) will help prepare you for your final acrylic painting.
In the second part of the course, you'll learn how to mix and use colour effectively and how to paint with acrylic paints.
By the end of the 8 weeks, you'll finish with your own acrylic painting on a stretched canvas ready to hang on your wall, new skills to continue building and hopefully you'll have made some extra friends along the way!
I have a degree in Visual Arts (acrylic painting), close to a decade of experience in education and it lights me up when I witness those "aha!" moments as students master the techniques I've shown them and find their own creative flow.
You'll soon be looking at the world through a slightly different lens and will probably surprise yourself at what you're able to achieve with a little "know-how". I'd love to have you come along on the journey!
