Drawing & Painting

This course is designed to strengthen the student's technical and observational skills. We will explore a variety of techniques and subject matter, and continue to build on the fundamentals of composition, light, tone, and colour. In-class demonstrations and discussions will touch on concepts integral to the artist—such as the creative process, critical thinking, and visual literacy. This course aims to enable students to explore a variety of subject matter, such as life drawing, portraiture, landscape, still life, perspective, composition, and abstraction. Using a range of materials and techniques, students will improve their painting and drawing skills, producing accomplished artwork, that will be displayed in the two major exhibitions.
