Drawing is the art of making meaningful traces. In this course, students will progress through drawing exercises, demonstrations and individual feedback, developing new skills in observation, imagination and drawing.
This course is structured around short drawing exercises, demonstrations of technique and individual and group tuition. Over eight weeks, students will be exposed to new techniques, develop new skills, and come to understand their own ways of drawing and how these drawings can become art.
By the end, students will have created a body of drawings, gained greater understanding of observational and drawing techniques, and deepened their own artistic voice.
who is it for?
This course is for anyone with an interest in beginners who find this subject difficult but want more than just a how-to guide; artists using other mediums who want to explore drawing more deeply.
what should I bring?
Charcoal, paper, drawing boards and easels will be provided.
when is it?
6 October - 24 November 2027, Tuesdays 6pm to 8pm.
where is it?
This course takes place on the second floor of our building. We unfortunately do not currently have lift access to these floors, and students will need to take 2 flights of stairs to attend the course.
