Fundamentals of Fine Art

Tutor: Art Landerman

This 30 week course is designed to explore and develop the fundamentals of fine art. We will start with the basic elements of drawing, proportion, line, texture, tone, value, form, space, perspective and color theory. In the first section, drawing and composition, students will take a classical approach to rendering inorganic and organic subjects. Secondly, color will be introduced through a series of mixed media color exercises designed to help the student become aware of the deliberate color and design schemes in God’s creation all around us. In the third section, students will merge the two sections using watercolor , acrylic and pastel chalk. Each week they will draw landscapes, seascapes, still life, cartoons, graphic design and free draw. Students are required to show their work in a display at the end of the semester in the study area.
