5 Sessions: 6th Feb, 13th Feb, 27th Feb, 6th March, 20th March
Using charcoal and other drawing mediums students will introduce and develop a series of interrelated images exploring the synthesis of landscape and figure. Emphasis will be placed on sound observational drawing as a base for re-interpreting the subject as a non-figurative image using composite shapes, texture, pattern, line, mark-making, and aerial perspective. Short seminars on the abstraction of the figure in relation to the landscape will be placed in context through a series of discussions. There will be opportunities to view works by artists who have used such an approach and reference them in view of their own work. It is strongly advised for students to show experience of life drawing and charcoal before embarking on this course.
