Contemporary painting – space, architecture, environment.Sold OutCourse CodeE2003P018TutorAlison HandCourse DatesThursdays, 15th April - 17th June 2021Days10Times10.30am – 4.30pmExperience LevelAll LevelsFee£500Material Costs£10 (See Daily Breakdown for Details)This new course explores how painting can describe and interact with the language of architecture, environment, and space. The course introduces diverse painting approaches and surfaces, and covers a range of themes including working from moving images; 3 dimensional and site specific painting; city edges and borders. Drawing on a range of source material from film and photography to sketching and study trips, we will build an exciting new painting vocabulary. Each idea will be contextualised with contemporary painters and key theorists, thereby broadening your knowledge. You will be able to use the processes and approaches taught to address their individual thematic concerns as you move through the course. Additionally, you will develop your own ambitious project in the last three weeks of the course, which may be a large-scale work, a series of smaller works, or a site-specific painting project. These will be exhibited on the last afternoon of the course in the studio (or off-site if relevant), for discussion and others to come and view. Note: This course welcomes students working in other disciplines, such as drawing, installation, multimedia - it would work particularly well for those working across 2 and 3 dimensions, for example painting and sculpture.

You'll look in-depth at the work of both contemporary and historical artists for whom still life is a major focus, and discuss why the genre is still relevant today. You'll consider the use of objects for their symbolic value as well as their aesthetic properties, examining the abstract form, shape, colour and tone of the objects observed, and exploring how to use all this information to create interesting and contemporary paintings. Working in oil, you'll be encouraged to approach the act of painting with a balance of instinct and analysis, growing your technical understanding of a variety of mediums and materials, whilst also developing observational, critical and creative skills.
