During this inspiring course, you will focus on contrast and composition by using collage in your art pieces. You will also consider how other artists use contrast and composition in their work to direct the gaze of the viewer to the focal point in their images. You will use the Gelli plate printing technique to create unique collage papers, which you can then use to make larger scale work. Initially, the work will incorporate monochromatic ideas gathered on the previous course. Simple colour schemes will bring in fresh approaches, inspired by a still life provided each week, or from your preferred influences. As the course progresses, you will learn how to use the language of art to evaluate your artwork for inclusion in the summer show. During this course, you will visit RAMM museum and Exeter Phoenix Galleries to view contemporary and classical art to broaden your creative outlooks.

This Studio Practice class will take place in a light and airy studio that is a welcoming and safe space for everyone, where support and connection with others is central to producing an atmosphere of calm creativity.
