The Glasgow School of Art

With an historical perspective, this class is an introduction to those who wish to move their focus from traditional representational drawings and paintings to experiments with abstraction. Participants will work with drawing, collage and paint to produce images under directed exercises. The use of form, line, colour theory and defined composition will be explored with a view to self-directed projects. Students are welcome to bring in sketchbooks, drawings and other source material. An ideal introduction to abstraction and developing new approaches to your work as an important facet of visual art.
