Drawing Courses
Return to Drawing Course
'Return to Drawing’ is like no other drawing course in London. Everyone has experience of drawing – as a child. Yet we often give up. Open to anyone interested in drawing, this course will re-invigorate your hand and your eye. We draw on a range of influences – from performance to gestalt and observational drawing. We draw on surrealism as well, using some of their techniques for tapping the creative potential of the subconscious.
Led by artist John Phillips, this course will help you :
Discover your personal approach to drawing.
Broaden your understanding of the materials and activities engaged in drawing.
Become familiar with the application of drawing in printmaking.
Class size is restricted to 8 to allow appropriate access to the course leader during class. During the course, you will complete a number of drawing exercises in class. You will receive guide notes on drawing. You will be given opportunities to discuss your work with the tutor.
Further course details can be found here.
Price: £262.00 (£208.00 concessions* please see below for details) Including basic materials.
