Course Structure
LOVE MARK-MAKING
Session 1
Become familiar with the Tools of Abstract Art and the first 5-KEYS that will provide a framework and structure to making art. Making marks on paper is the ‘a-b-c’ of drawing and learning to expand the range of marks used to enrich the drawing and painting experience. This session is about Visual-play and experimentation that will expand students’ creative and self-expressive skills.
VISUAL CONVERSATIONS
Session 2
Developing the language of abstract art is about building visual conversations in paint. This session asks students to embrace colour and teaches students how to develop increasingly complex mark-making and start to create coherent pictures with underlying structure and emotive power.
FLOW + EVOLUTION
Session 3
A further 5-KEYS will be introduced to support students in establishing a creative framework for making abstract art. Learn a creative approach to creating abstract art with the right mindset and help the flow and generation of new ideas. This session is about developing more complex layering, surface texture to add depth and interest, and structured organisation to the visual story telling process.
GATEWAYS TO CREATIVITY
Session 4
Materials and Techniques are crucial in supporting your creative ambitions as an abstract artist. Influences from other artists is also vital to developing your abstract art style. Students will 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, inspired and excited about using the new set of skills and techniques learnt over the weekend. The 10-KEYS to making abstract art will give them the creative confidence to put all they have learnt into practice and continue their journey in drawing, painting and mark making to create personal and individualistic abstract art.
