Course Description
Responding to the Shropshire landscape, this course will encourage you to use physical and experimental drawing processes to find freedom, joy and playfulness in the creation of new work.
You will use metal kidneys, sticks, squeegies, brushes, acrylic gesso, paint, various acrylic mediums, charcoal, pencils, sandpaper and wire wool on paper.
Working both outside and in the studio, you will be encouraged to work quickly, intuitively and responsively. You will use physical texture as an essential part of the drawing process and consider layers, and visual texture including engraved, carved, glossy, smudged and eroded marks.
Take creative risks, have fun, reflect and feel your drawings and their presence in the world through your body as well as your eyes.
*This course will be messy – wear working clothes you can get paint on or overalls.
