Week 1-3: Drawing Techniques The first three weeks of your art class we will cover the basic elements through a range of exercises and sketches using pencils, pens and coloured pencils. You will learn the importance of mark making, shading and depth in drawing. Week 4: Soft Pastels We will show you how colours are mixed on the paper, and how overlaying and blending various colours helps to create texture, and you will produce some pastel sketches. Week 5: Mixed media is basically using anything you have to hand to produce a collage. With mixed media it is definitely a case of anything goes! Week 6-8: Watercolours The next three weeks we play with watercolour. We’ll look at the materials, tools and techniques needed to paint with watercolour, and you will produce exercises as well as final pieces.
