Overview
About the course
- The journey from representation to abstraction is concerned with bridging the world of appearances and your inner world of memory, feeling and imagination.
- To abstract is to liberate. We will refer to contemporary and historical examples throughout the Abstraction course at the University of the Arts London (UAL).
- To provide you initially with something concrete to look at and respond to, you will each make a still life type of set up inside a cardboard box a personal model for pictorial space.
- This personal space/place will provide you with a stimulus to work from, an initial springboard for your perceptual and expressive responses.

Other requirements
General requirements
Please bring to the first session (of each course):
- A cardboard box. It needs to be deeper than a shoe box (ideally a supermarket box about 20cm deep by 30cm wide).
- Some small objects to put in your box - some bits and pieces. These could be totally arbitrarily accumulated; (the first five things you lay your hands on, the contents of your handbag, ten objects the names of which start with the letters of you name, etc) or they could be things that you love (not in a narrative sense) but visually and sensually; a flower, a ring, a feather, a fruit, a small vase, a ball of string, a seed pod, a cork screw, a mirror, etc. Please don't feel you need to justify or understand the selection of your objects - the more intuitive the selection is the better!
- Drawing pencils
- Compressed charcoal
- Putty rubber
- Masking Tape
