Tutor - Jonathan Farr

5-week course

Starts Tuesday 23 February 2027, 6.30pm-9pm*

* Please note, there is no session on 9 March, and therefore the final session will be 30 March 2027

This course takes place via Zoom.

Developing from last term’s introductory “Drawing Space” course led by Jonathan Farr, but suitable for anyone interested in capturing a sense of place and furthering drawing skills, this 5 session course will explore ways to create drawn imagined spaces. Overall, the creative process will move from two dimensional to three dimensional and back to two dimensional.

Drawing initially from a variety of sources including film, observed surroundings and photos, preliminary drawings will become the basis to construct models made from found and recycled materials. Three dimensional work will involve the creation of buildings, landscapes and interiors which will then be lit to create tonal contrasts and atmosphere, as well as implying changes of scale.

Throughout the course we will look at artists for inspiration and ideas such as Charlotte Saloman, James Casebere, David Hockney and Paul Noble to name a few. As well as creating sets to draw from we will explore some ways to re-imagine through drawing, the spaces we inhabit.

We will post materials out in advance to those who have booked onto this course. Regrettably, if you live outside of the UK mainland, we are unable to post materials to you, so when booking please use this code to receive 10% off. NOPOSTAGE2026
