This course focuses on the learning and development of basic media, methods and techniques of drawing and painting. The fundamentals of two-dimensional art forms will be investigated in a relaxed and supportive learning environment. 

Using a range of subject matter, art media, methods and techniques coupled with the exploration of ideas, concepts and the language of art, you will develop knowledge, skills and confidence in your art abilities while gaining many hours of enjoyment.

Following introductory discussions of art concepts with visual examples from art history and other sources, exercises will be demonstrated, explained and taught. These include 

  • learning to see through the observation of simple objects
  • learning to interpret images from the outside world
  • creating new images from the inner world of the imagination.

Art is vast. Learn to see. There is no right answer. Keep an open mind. Find your own voice. Draw or paint every day – practise, practise. Look at lots of art – read and look at art books, visit exhibitions, search the internet, follow articles written by art historians/journalists in newspapers and magazines, attend lectures and courses, start a discussion group … Enjoy! You will find your art practice enriches your life.
