Summer School
LINE DRAWING AND MARK MAKING - 7 AUGUST
Date: Thursday, 7th August
Tutor: Alison Ward has been a teacher of art throughout her career, teaching up to A level in a wide variety of secondary schools and colleges and has delivered workshops in Scotland. She teaches all aspects of drawing, painting and printmaking, helping people of all ages and abilities to develop the confidence to enjoy being creative, teaching them the skills needed to express themselves visually, in a non-judgemental, relaxed atmosphere.
Description: Even before we could walk, as children we loved to draw, yet this confidence diminishes with age and many adults will insist that they ‘can’t draw’. This course is designed to reignite that love of drawing, teaching mark-making and linear drawing techniques to build confidence. Then, taking inspiration from Van Gogh’s linear studies created in preparation for his landscape paintings, you will develop your own linear landscape.
You may bring your own photographs of landscapes to work from if you wish (for example, a view from a window at home, or an exotic landscape from a holiday destination), but there will be images to choose from on the day if you prefer.
