Thinking Through Art
£120.00
Thinking Through Art is an inspiring six-week drawing and painting course that explores how artists brains work. Through a series of practical projects in a variety of media, you’ll develop observation, composition, colour, creativity and confidence while discovering the balance between analytical thinking and expressive painting.
Great artists don’t simply learn techniques—they train their brains to observe, question, analyse and make creative decisions. Thinking Through Art is an inspiring six-week course designed to strengthen the way you think as an artist, helping you develop confidence across a range of media, subjects and approaches.
Each week we’ll explore a different part of your creative thinking through practical drawing and painting projects. Some sessions will challenge your analytical side, focusing on observation, composition, perspective and tonal structure. Others will encourage a more intuitive and expressive approach through colour, mark-making, texture and experimentation. Along the way, we’ll discover how these seemingly opposite ways of working complement one another, leading to more thoughtful, confident and personal artwork.
Working in a variety of media—including pencil, pen, charcoal, watercolour, acrylics and mixed media—you’ll investigate landscapes, portraits, still life and imaginative subjects while learning the principles that underpin successful artwork.
Through demonstrations, tuition and friendly group discussion, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of not only how to create art, but why artists make the choices they do.
Whether you’re new to drawing and painting or looking to move beyond simply copying photographs, Thinking Through Art will help you see more clearly, think more creatively and approach every painting with greater purpose and confidence.
