This 8 week term is designed for artists who want to explore abstraction through landscapes, seascapes, geometry, organic shapes, expressive mark making and mixed media techniques. Working through the term we will go through the following phases:
- Developing our own visual language
- Move beyond copying references
- Create cohesive bodies of work
- Build confidence working larger
- Learn to work more intuitively
- Discover new approaches to abstraction
We’ll utilise composition, value, colour, mark making, layering and series development and experiment with tools to help us translate our ideas into confident, intuitive abstract works.
The course will cover a good balance between skill-building and creative development. The progression through the weeks includes:
- Observation and simplification (Weeks 1–2)
- Different abstract approaches (Weeks 3–4)
- Developing a body of work (Week 5)
- Working at scale (Weeks 6)
- NO class week 7
- Independent exploration (Weeks 8–9)
