Drawing is a fundamental activity for all artists and designers. Intended for those with some drawing experience who wish to consider developing more complex images, this course guides and encourages students in exploring various approaches, materials, techniques and scale to develop a personal language. Supported and guided by the tutor and carrying out work in their own time students will gather a range of research material based on various themes, such as drawings and photographs, forming the basis of a working sketchbook and studies, providing a foundation to develop more considered ideas in the studio. |
