You can Draw! (7 week afternoon course)

On this seven-week evening course, you will have the opportunity to build your confidence in tackling both drawing and painting and to pursue the development of your own ideas inspired by our theme. This will be a skills based course, improving your drawing, meaningful mark making and use of colour, whilst providing hints and tips on a personalised level, enabling you to progress at your own pace.
This session, our theme is ‘Weather Patterns’ and this will provide a prompt to our creative activities. There are no preconceptions regarding the outcomes you choose to make. Looking at work by a range of artists will help to increase awareness of the potential for each to make varied and personal responses.
Artists who will form part of our reference might include Mari French, David Hockney, Charles Birchfield, Natalie Miebach.
Why do we draw? Drawing underpins the work of many artists and designers and can improve observational skills, enable visualisation and the development of perceptions and ideas. Through drawing we can explore and use the building blocks we need to make art: composition, tone, colour, shape and line.
‘You Can Draw’, will inspire you to develop personal project work and build your confidence in drawing for a variety of purposes over the duration of the course. As you feel able, you will be encouraged to diversify your media and approach, and purposefully combine materials.
Once enrolled you will be sent some pre release information with suggested preparation you might wish to undertake and a breakdown of the sessions.
Your experienced tutor, Cathy Burnett will cater for individuals, with personal support and guidance built into each session. You will be helped to personalise your work and approach in ways which best suit your own experience and aspirations.
For those who are regular attendees, we will continue to explore new avenues of inspiration, rooted firmly in an understanding of formal elements. With only 10 people on this course, it is a cosy, supportive group – and fascinating to see how everyone’s work develops.
This course runs from Tuesday November 5 to Tuesday December 17.
