This course offers the opportunity to explore a personal and expressive language negotiating the creative territory between representation and abstraction. Students will be given the chance to select from a range of observed ¿starting points¿ in the studio and around the college, and during the course will gradually develop a more expressive, abstract use of their own images, underpinned by an understanding of composition and structure. |
