Course Structure
Facial proportions and 3D modelling
Session 1
Learn by looking at examples of other artists’ work and tutor-led painting demonstrations.
Gain a deeper understanding of facial proportions and how other artists create portraits using loose brushwork, expressive colour and tonal contrast. Practice painting techniques by working from images of faces.
Self-portrait acrylics project
Session 2
Create expressive self-portraits using acrylic paints. Achieve facial proportion through tonal modelling and expressive colour, texture, and brushwork.
At the end of the session students will be introduced to the next project so they can prepare with a little bit of overnight homework in preparation for the next day’s self-expressive interiors project.
Developing composition and creative ideas
Session3
Develop ideas based on student’s homework, or from images supplied by the tutor. Learn by looking at examples of other artists’ work and tutor-led painting demonstrations. Students will create a study sheet of possible compositions for a finished acrylic painting considering colour, texture, tone and technique.
Self-expressive interior project
Session 4
After a tutor-led demonstration and a chance for questions, students will create a beautifully finished painting of their self-expressive contemporary interior composition using acrylic paints. Lots of 1:1 support will enable all students to develop the skills needed for the effective use of specific painterly techniques, appropriate colour mixing combinations, and by exploiting formal elements such as tone, texture, shape, etc.
By the end of the course…
Students will have learned new skills and techniques in how to approach two important artistic genres using acrylic paints. New acrylic painting skills, and planning techniques for developing creative ideas and compositions for their own projects will have greatly enhanced their creative self-confidence.
