STUDY A RANGE OF PART TIME DAY COURSES
The Art Academy offers an unrivalled selection of art part time courses for individuals who want to develop their skills and ideas, whether they have no previous instruction, or are returning to art school to further develop their skills. Our part time day courses are usually one day a week (10am– 5pm) in term time, lasting from two to ten weeks. We run courses in: painting, drawing, printmaking, photography & video and sculpture. Some have a specialist focus, while others are more broad-based. Students can take one stand-alone course, or a combination. Each course is a component which can be built into a longer-term, progressive programme of study. Our tutors are professional artists chosen for their expertise in each area of study. With class numbers kept to a maximum of 15, the tutor has plenty of time to give individual and detailed attention to each student. Material packs can be purchased with some of our courses. Please check the details of the individual class. You can also buy an Acrylic Painting, Oil Painting or Drawing Pack individually on our Materials Page. Please note, our courses are only suitable and available for students 18 years old and above. We have a variety of courses specifically designed for under 18’s as part of our Young Artists programme. If you have any queries regarding part time courses please contact our academic team on 0207 407 6969 or academiccourses@artacademy.org.uk.

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.
Contemporary Still LifeFrom: £500.00Course CodeE2003P017TutorNicholas McLeodCourse DatesThursdays, 15th April - 17th June 2021Days10Times10.30am – 4.30pmExperience LevelAll LevelsFee£500Engage with still life painting in a fresh and exciting manner. 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.
Kim WhitbyExploring Watercolour & Ink – Online Course£500.00Course CodeE2003P36TutorKim WhitbyCourse DatesThursdays, 15th April - 17th June 2021Days10Times10.30am – 4.30pmExperience LevelAll LevelsFee£500LocationOnlineThis course aims to introduce students to the water-based mediums of watercolour and ink. Both indoors and as originally planned, outdoors (for those who wish to develop their working outdoors where a Zoom Phone App might prove useful), you will work responsively, exploring the particular qualities of these mediums. You will be learning to use them in combination with drawing, to collect and record findings in a sketchbook and developing your learning into finished artworks in the studio or outdoors if appropriate/desired.
