Lecturer Oliver Reed
International drawing course in English by Oliver Reed from University of Edinburgh, Scotland.
The course explores how you engage with and interpret the world around you through drawing, from considering our perceptual awareness to exploring drawing in relation to space, time, and memory.
Over a series of four one-day activities, we will work both in the studio and at local sites to investigate different approaches to drawing, developing concepts and ideas for drawing and image-making.
Each morning will focus on a theme that will be further developed in the afternoons. Each day may act as a catalyst for your personal ideas and approaches to drawing.
Programme
- Day 1: Drawing and Perception
- Day 2: Drawing and 3D
- Day 3: Place and Memory
- Day 4: Drawing on Space and Time
Study Outcomes
Upon completing the course, the participant can:
- demonstrate a range of imaginative and inventive approaches to exploring and developing visual ideas and concepts through various drawing materials and techniques
- investigate concepts of perceptual awareness through drawing approaches and image-making
- employ personal references to incorporate, inform and inspire original artwork
- employ a range of practical methods to gather visual and sensory information from the city to develop a personal response
- develop a contextual awareness for artists approaches to drawing
Assessment Criteria
The course ends with an assessment, which requires at least 75% participation in contact classes. The assessment will consist of mutual feedback based on the participant’s contribution and experience during the course. After completing the written feedback, the person who passed the assessment will be issued a certificate of continuing education from the Estonian Academy of Arts.
