Abstract Art
£140.00
Weekend course 2-days
Learn the visual language of abstract art and understand how to use the elements of line, form, tone, colour, shape and pattern.
Learn the techniques needed to create personal abstract art images.
A series of exercises and mini projects take students on a creative journey to creating abstract art.
Suitable for: Adult, beginners, improvers, intermediate
Course Structure
Students will be guided to explore acrylic paint along with a variety of materials, learning many new techniques that will inspire and give them the confidence to develop their own abstract language and style.
Learn to love mark-making
Session 1
Making marks on paper is the ‘a-b-c’ of drawing and learning to expand the range of marks you use will enrich your drawing and painting experience. This session is about play and experimenting with your materials to broaden your creative and self-expressive skills.
Create visual conversations
Session 2
Developing the language of abstract art is about building visual conversations in paint. This session teaches you how to develop increasingly complex mark-making and start to create coherent pictures with underlying structure.
Embracing colour and layers
Session 3
It’s time to introduce the dynamics of colour and learn how this element adds a whole new dimension to our abstract art compositions. This session is about colour, developing more complex layering and surface texture to add depth and interest to our visual story telling.
See your world as abstract
Session 4
Influences from other artists in vital to developing your abstract art. Students will also be taught how to use the world around them as a never-ending source of inspiration. This session introduces outside influences and gives students the opportunity to fully explore all their learning and take their first steps towards developing self-expressive abstract compositions in their own fledgling styles.
By the end of the course…
Students will go home feeling revitalised and excited about new ways of drawing, painting and mark making to create personal and individualistic abstract art.
