Overview
One half of the course will be spent working through short, simple exercises that introduce new ways of looking at individual objects, the still life and the model. To strengthen the abstract qualities in your work and help overcome literal-mindedness, time will be given to analysing form in space, studying light and shade and considering composition and pictorial design.
In the other half of the Total Drawing Short Course at the University of the Arts London (UAL), you will be introduced to simple techniques and experimental processes which enable you to develop a more personal or meaningful interpretation of your subject matter.
