Fine Art Courses
About
In art courses, I offer a solid training in the skills of drawing and painting. Classes are aimed at “developing” the eye through the way of seeing things and shapes. We focus on the themes the individual participant is interested in and learn how they can be transformed into a form and what kind of techniques could best be used for the work.
Drawing
Here you learn the basics of drawing techniques and we start with the process of transferring shape to paper. We work on subjects from still life, drawing the lines and shapes, light and shadow, mass and space. Additionally, you learn about perspective and its’ types: Parallel perspective, Two-Point perspective and One-Point perspective. You will learn about material types and how to use them.
Materials: Pencil, charcoal, paper, erasers, etc.
Painting
Here you learn the foundations of oil painting or acrylic painting. Together we develop the process of transferring the tone and line of the shape to the canvas. During this process, you learn about the colour-circle and complementary-colours, mixing colours, harmony and colour-reflections as well as composition. You will learn about the basic materials for oil or acrylic painting and how to use them.
Materials: Colours, brushes, painting medium, varnish, frames and canvas, etc.
Children’s meetings
Here, artistic ideas are developed through the process of playing. We will transform fantastic thoughts to shapes and objects. Particular attention is given to crafting toys, especially those which the student aspires to make by him- or herself. We will use a great variety of materials and playfully learn how they can be used. With fantasy and increasing skill, we will work together to create unique objects.
Materials: Paper, wood, cardboard, glue, clay, etc.
