Title

Exploring the fundamentals of Painting and Drawing

Who is this course for?

This course is for anyone who wants to develop their theoretical and practical knowledge on how to compose a piece of artwork.

What will I learn on this course?

During this course you will be visually exploring and learning about the function and purpose of some of the elements and principles of art within a picture. Every artwork you see will have some (not all) of the elements and principles of art within it.
Each week you will be focusing on learning the theory, defining and visually illustrating a given element or principle within a piece of artwork in a structured manner. In the final week you can choose to combine all the learning from this short course and create your own artwork which defines your understanding of the elements and principles of art.
We will be referring throughout this short course to examples within art history that define and illustrate the elements and principles of art and discussing how they enhance a pictures narrative.

Learners require a good standard of spoken and written English and to be able to work independently.
