Intensive Master Classes 2011
Drawing Intensive
with Ben Joel and Eveline Kotai
The School of Design and Art at Curtin University is proud to present its third annual Drawing Intensive, a sustained five day master class in the strategies, rationales and skills involved in seeing well and drawing with accuracy, power and expression. The Intensive will address a wide range of issues, prioritising:
- Specific drawing aims for each participant
- The role of mindfulness, clear thinking and smart sequencing
- Refined visual awareness and its application
- Invention
- Improved body awareness in the drawing process and better ergonomics
- Understanding drawing accuracy in observation and expression
The training is intended to provide transferable skills that can also be applied in other mediums. The course is designed to suit professional artists, architects, designers, art teachers and art students. Rapid progress is the aim.
Participants will be guided through this program by two of Western Australia’s most distinguished artists and educators. Numbers are strictly capped to allow for a substantial level of engagement with and guidance from the lecturers. Early booking is therefore advised.
Dates: Mon 27th June - Friday 1st July, 2011
Tuition Cost: $680.00 All materials supplied but individual resources and equipment welcome.
