This one-year programme was designed for students who are determined to further their own creative development as well as to undertake greater artistic challenges through the practice of sustained art-making involving more complex compositional, technical, and conceptual problems. At the beginning of the course our Art instructor will evaluate the students’ skills and help them to establish their objectives. While producing a breadth of media during their classes, students will increase technical skills, develop a more sophisticated approach to process and subject matter, as well as create a portfolio of individual work. Students will also develop mastery of a variety of materials and techniques; they will learn to show a range of successful and purposeful image development strategies stemming from observation, memory, and fantasy sources; they will practice a selection of drawing methods to include point, weighted line, contour, continuous line, wash and tone/value. As for the painting techniques, students will experiment with a variety of mediums, including acrylics, oils, fresco and mixed media on paper, canvas, panels and non-traditional surfaces. Emphasis will be on personal exploration of ideas, materials, concepts and solutions to design problems. Here are some of the main topics that you can choose to tackle: Here are some of the techniques that students will be able to hone up: charcoal, sanguine, dry pastel, oil pastel, pen and ink, watercolour, gouache, graphite, acrylic painting, oil painting, tempera, fresco, sculpture with clay.
