SUMMER SCHOOL
28th July-2nd August 2008

'Drawing'
with Steve Empson.

Monday to Saturday

Drawing is a fundamental basis for all the Arts & Crafts. This course aims to develop your understanding of the language of drawing - being able to do the basics well & to understand relationships so that you are in a position to take it as far as you are able. You will use anything that makes a mark to create relationships of tone, colour, shape, space, form & line. This is a study of observational drawing & it will be largely based in the studio looking at still-life, life drawing & various exercises; at least 2 days will be spent outside working on architecture & trees/landscape. There will be constant references to other artists’ work & exercises based on their approach. You should be left with a range of knowledge & experience to take away & apply to your own particular way of working.
STEVE EMPSON studied design subjects as an undergraduate and as a post-graduate before becoming a professional artist in 1985. He has taught at the Oxford Summer School since its inception in 1991. Steve’s courses in India may interest you – 'www.paintingindia.co.uk'
