Magnitude | Miniature

This course will suit people who would like to explore materials, play, and build up a body of small work that has at its heart an intuitive and abstracted content.  The surrounding landscape or natural forms may act as inspiration but the course will guide you towards making decisions about the qualities of the marks you make and the potential that these intuitive marks have to make abstracted landscape or natural form based work. 

The day will start by working on large sheets of paper with bold and expressive marks then moving into small work that aims to carry the same weight and vitality displayed in the larger scale work.   This course will offer a space to play and create with an open ended outcome where participants will explore freely the use of materials, building knowledge of the intrinsic qualities of certain materials and surfaces and by the end of the course have some jewel like experiments that have process and learning at their centre.  A course suitable for beginners as well as experienced artists as guided tuition and demonstrations will be part of the course.
