Aimed at all levels of experience, this course offers a wonderful opportunity to try out a variety of drawing techniques and materials. Over the day, students will be introduced to fundamental drawings skills, including gestural drawing, mark-making, measurement and tonal drawing. Alongside this, students will test out more creative techniques such as drawing with charcoal, rubbers, chalk and ink. This is an intensive, informative, and fun day, which introduces observational drawing skills, creative techniques, and offers students the opportunity to be more experimental by combining media in the afternoon.

Throughout the day the tutor will lead the class in practical demonstrations to enable students to really understand the skills, materials, and techniques introduced.

COURSE SCHEDULE

Beginner

All attendees must be aged 18 and over.

Choose a Beginners course if you are looking for a broad introduction to the medium you are studying. Students spend time learning the very basics of the taught medium, for example, how to mix colours, use different tools, set up an easel. Our Beginner courses are suitable for students with no prior experience, they tend to follow a more structured path than our other courses, ensuring each student receives the guidance they need from the tutor.

All materials will be provided, please wear clothes you don’t mind getting messy.

ELEANOR BEDLOW

Eleanor develops precarious and fragile forms through drawing, painting and sculpture. Neither human stand-ins or alien forms, the structures in her work are suspended in balance not only in a physical sense, but also in their existence as inanimate anthropomorphic forms. The work questions the interconnection between personal identity and place. Eleanor spent her formative years in Japan before moving to London. She completed the Drawing Year at the Royal Drawing School in 2008 and the Turps Art School’s Studio Programme in 2018.

Students are welcome to use The Hub during break times, where you can prepare hot drinks and/or food. You must bring your own keep-cup, water bottle or food container to the Academy as mugs, glasses, and containers will not be available in our Bankside campus.

Tea and coffee will be provided by the Academy and is available from the island unit at the end of The Hub.
