What to expect on Interiors, Drawing Space
A sense of place is about the relationship between people and a spatial setting.
If an artwork has a sense of place this is often achieved by the ability of the artist to create a sense of belonging and ambience. This course is designed to explore how this is achieved by considering the works of artists such as Edward Hopper, Marina Fridman and Jeanette Barnes and how we can evoke our own feeling of belonging.
This will be explored through a variety of different (and fun!) techniques using charcoal, graphite and ink such as blind drawings, growing drawings, bringing the outside in, using light to our advantage and culminating in a collaborative drawing to create a personal group portrait and map of our experience of place.
