Spend time with Peter Clayton looking at artists throughout history and the ways they have demonstrated the elements that make their work expressive - colour, contrast, composition and material. Learn to analyse others' work and critique your own practice. Two demonstrations to show how to make a picture look quiet or dramatic.

Course Structure

Part one: 10am – 11.30am. Two demonstrations using paint/print techniques to demonstrate calmness and drama by means of colour, tone and shape using paint/printing techniques.

Part two: A slide show and talk of various artists’ work from the past and present to explain different ways to express ideas/moods visually. From Titian to Tomma Abst, Morandi to Agnes Martin and Rubens to Ravilious.
