Overview
The aim of this course is to provide an opportunity to study our fantastic new college building as inspiration for a series of contemporary fine art drawings. The stunning City campus affords wonderful views over the city and surrounding landscape as well as numerous vantage points from which the dramatic interiors can also be appreciated.
Working with one of our art lectures you will explore a range of mark making techniques that focus on the building and its views as both backdrop and source material for your creativity. Skills development throughout will be based on tailored drawing exercises, practical activity and ongoing investigation into the work of established artists in order to broaden your own personal drawing style. In addition, this course may be suitable for those wishing to create supplementary work for an art and design portfolio.
