Overview

During this course Young Artists will explore essential drawing techniques through hands-on experimentation with line, tone, shape, perspective, and colour.
Taught live via Zoom, Tutors will guide students through a wide range of drawing exercises and introduce diverse influences to keep the course fresh, dynamic, and inspiring.
Each week will focus on a new technique, theme or artistic practise and students will have the opportunity to draw from clothed models, still life arrangements, artworks, film and their everyday surroundings. During the term Young artists will be encouraged to develop their unique artistic voice and sharpen their observation skills whilst exploring the practise of drawing from the comfort of their own home.
Tutors will offer support and guidence throughout the sessions and students will use an online gallery to share their work with the group.
Alongside technical skills, students will develop critical thinking, problem solving, and collaborative abilities – all of which are key components to a confident and curious art practice.  
Students will learn skills that allow them to explore their creativity outside the curriculum while building a portfolio of high-quality work that supports their progress in Arts Education.
