Students work on individual open projects of their choosing. We explore use of materials, creative process, composition, perspective and choice of subject matter.
All levels of experience are welcome. If a student has specific individual questions, we can discuss one-to-one, and themes interesting to the class as a whole are explored in short discussions and demonstrations, with supplied reference material.
Most important is giving you the time, space and support to find your own creative voice and to produce art. Essential aspects of artistic practice are covered. All types of work are encourage, including painting, drawing, abstract and representational art.
