This course is for beginners as well as those who wish to improve their drawing skills and refine their understanding of visual language. Using pencils and charcoal, we will explore fundamental techniques such as proportion, shape, perspective, line weights, shading, and value. Students will develop drawing skills and become confident using the tools of visual expression.

Have you always dreamed of painting and creating your own art? Realise your vision and start painting now! In this course you will learn or revise fundamental techniques and, with guidance, transfer your ideas to paper. The result will be as varied as its creators. Acrylic paints are most suitable for this course, however, if you would prefer to work with other materials, please feel free to bring them along.

Explore basic illustration methods and materials to create colourful and realistic images. Develop skills which will allow you to have a different and unique approach to the text being illustrated, depending on the literary genre and the age of its readers. We will discuss basic design and colour theory and look at some techniques of watercolour and drawing which will give you more control over your image and level of detail. This course is excellent for anyone who is always striving to draw or paint more "realistically".

Discover the various experimental approaches to drawing. Explore your creativity and develop expressive approaches to image making. Through a series of in-class exercises and projects, you will learn to take risks, embrace serendipity, be innovative, work collaboratively, and to employ a range of conventional and non-conventional drawing mediums and tools. The teacher supports you individually on your way.

Do you already have experience in drawing? Now it's time to improve and further develop your knowledge and skills. We will emphasize drawing the human figure - anatomy, body mechanics, dynamic poses, portraiture, facial expressions, psychology, and emotions. We will work again on the basics of drawing, but will add texturing, materiality, and lighting. We will pay close attention to how to create focal points in our pictures, as well as to colour theory and the contribution of colours to visual language.
