Description
This course will invite you to experiment with your own artistic style alongside researching and studying other contemporary artists. You'll create work inspired by artists of the 20th century who pushed the boundaries and altered concepts in art history. The focus of this course is on experimentation with unconventional materials and techniques often utilised in contemporary art.
You'll learn how to use a range of mediums and materials to help you execute your vision, using resources and knowledge developed during the process of learning and creation. Each week you'll have access to a brief and you'll develop your own sketch book to record your learning processes.
