Course Code: ARTS0055
Have you ever finished a painting only to feel it is just okay? Usually it is because the composition is weak. Make your artwork stronger through an understanding of composition. Designed for artists at any skill level, this course can be applied to landscape painting and to all levels of abstraction in any medium. There will be lectures, instruction and daily painting. Through discussions on the principles of composition, discover the many whys and hows of composition pitfalls. You will explore how colour, value and design affect every composition. The aim is to be able to self-critique and problem solve composition issues in any artwork. When you are in control of the composition varieties, you will be able to take your artwork to the next level. You will be working on supplied 12" x 12" wooden panels and only in acrylic paint. Each artist can bring three digital samples of their artwork on a USB for a class discussion. Pick a painting that works well for you; one painting that isn't working; and one painting that you are having a problem with.
