A painting workshop exploring how artists can look at the same subject in completely different ways. Using the autumn landscape as inspiration, students will experiment with observation, cropping (choosing what to include, what to leave out and how to frame the subject), colour, composition and abstraction before developing their own expressive interpretation in acrylic and mixed media.
Along the way, students will explore different artistic approaches — from looking closely and simplifying, to exaggerating colour, using geometric structure or pushing an image towards abstraction. They are all looking at the world, but they aren’t all seeing it in the same way.
The focus is on encouraging young artists to develop their own visual ideas, artistic awareness and individual point of view.
