T4 Experimental Drawing and Mark Making
Beginners - Intermediate - with Jane Barwell
Course Description
This is a fun class which will allow you to loosen up and play. We will explore techniques for creating a wide range of pattern and marks using a variety of drawing media such as ink, charcoal, pastels and graphite. We will make our own drawing tools and explore gestural mark making with them. We will investigate the expressive qualities of drawing using music, and look at how to convey emotion through line quality and gesture. Over this four week course we will each build a personal mark making vocabulary and a bank of techniques which we will use in the final week to create a still life collage based on an image of your choice.
