This course will teach you how to see and record shapes created by light and shade. Colour, texture and form will be investigated in pursuit of expressive image making.
Participants will be encouraged to represent emotions and movement within well considered compositions. Image making materials will be explored. Unconventional drawing tools and image making techniques will be demonstrated.
