SUMMER SCHOOL
28th July-2nd August 2008

'Art Sketchbooks'
with Charlotte Hardy.

Monday to Friday

Come & be absorbed in drawing, painting, collage, text, colour & mixed media to create an imaginative sketchbook on a personal theme. Working with your chosen subject matter, we will explore techniques & approaches with a wealth of media to generate imagery, telling a visual story of what intrigues & delights you. The emphasis will be on not being precious: a book of ideas & experiments, working with spontaneity & freedom. Each day will focus on a different use of media & selection of methods, to be developed in a personal direction. At the end of the course you will have a beautiful mixed media sketchbook of pictures, memories & words.
CHARLOTTE HARDY studied Printed Textile Design at Manchester Metropolitan University, & has since, worked as an artist, painting for exhibitions & undertaking illustration work. Her work is driven by her imagination & passion for colour, pattern & drawing. Charlotte has taught at all levels of art & design, & has been lecturing on BA (Hons) Textiles part-time. Her Summer School Course last year was a great success.
This course is appropriate for all levels of experience. Students need to bring a selection of interesting surfaces & papers, paints, drawing media & collage materials, as well as objects & pictures which hold memories to develop work from.

Course Cost for 5 days £165.
Non Refundable Deposit £50.
