Suitable for newcomers and for more exper ienced painters wanting to try something new and exciting.\n\n***To avoid a booking fee and pay by card\, cheque or cash\, please contact dot-art Se rvices directly on 0345 017 6660***\n\nSunday 22 November\, 13 and 20 Dece mber 2020\, 11:30am - 5pm\n\n(£125 for 3-day sessions)\n\nProgramme\n\nSu itable for newcomers and for more experienced painters wanting to try some thing new and exciting.\n\nPrevious students: be aware that this is all ne w content for Autumn 2020!\n\nDay 1 will begin with an introduction to abs tract art\, and a discussion about what art means today as a visual manife station of human expression. Students will be invited to share (if they wi sh) the kind of abstract art they find appealing and what they would like to develop themselves.\n\nFollowing this\, we will focus on colour. We wil l look at examples of artists who have magnified and celebrated colour in their work\, and use acrylic paint to make our own experimental pieces tha t celebrate colour.\n\nWe will look at contrasting colour\, paint opacity/ transparency and experiment layering lights over darks\, darks over lights \, bright over dull\, blending edges etc. We will have time for appraisal and feedback\, appreciating different people’s reactions and responses t o our work.\n\nWe will experiment with different ways of applying colour: brushing\, sponging\, scraping\, using different tools and textured items to apply paint with.\n\nDay 2 will focus on composition\, space and moveme nt. This will improve the ability to isolate visual information and notice the essential qualities of a painting\, which will in turn help us distin guish and employ differing abstract techniques.\n\nWe will practise locati ng a focal area in various examples\, and determining what kind of movemen t has been used to make a painting. We will do some intuitive exercises to discover our own unique “movement” – wavy lines\, straight lines\, splatters\, random\, controlled\, etc. We will look at shapes and use the shapes that appeal to us to create our own original pieces of art.\n\nWe w ill look at opposites: saturated and neutral\, dark and light\, busy and q uiet\, textured and flat.\n\nLooking into the arrangement of these element s and their relationship to one another we will learn how to put these tog ether onto paper/canvas\, producing aesthetically pleasing arrangements an d patterns.\n\nDay 3 will combine concepts from days 1 and 2\, plus experi mentation with layering for depth\, self-exploring\, and how to be “conf idently spontaneous and intuitive”.\n\nWe will be given the opportunity to choose from different loose “themes” which we will interpret with o ur own creativity and style.\n\n“Themes” exercises:– Scientific Expl oration – Musical Energy – Peace and Simplicity – Softness – Clash and Disorder - Invisible Currents - Intersections\n\nEvery student will r eceive specific and individual feedback\, suggestions\, encouragement and advice from the tutor throughout\, with the freedom to be as vocal or as q uiet as desired during discussion times.\n\nThis course will give you oppo rtunities for improving practical skills\; practising both inward reflecti on and outward appreciation\; and developing your unique artistic voice.\n \nDates\n\nAutumn Programme 2020\, Sundays from 11:30am - 5pm\n\n22 Novemb er\n\n13 and 20 December\n\nVenue\n\nBluecoat\, School Lane\, Liverpool\, L1 3BX\n\nSituated in the centre of Liverpool\, just behind Church Street\ , down Church Alley and in front of Liverpool ONE.
