Autumn 2026
WELCOME BACK WEEK 1 / DRAWING ACTIVITIES
Students will start the year gently with a series of line games and mindful drawing activities.
BLOCK 1 / DRAWING THE HUMAN FORM
The young artists will then move on to 3 weeks of drawing the human figure. Students will take in formal drawing activities around proportions and body positioning, leading into experimental drawing and fashion illustration work. We will look at a range of artists and illustrators who draw people.
BLOCK 2 / PRINTING
In this block participants will try a range of different printing techniques, including drypoint etching and multi-layered mono printing. During this block we will be doing some slow looking at some surrealist works by Leonora Carrington and Dorothea Tanning.
