Composition is the way to structure visual elements within the space. The different way we compose the elements on the surface, either representational or abstract, can create myriad worlds and moods in our work.

In this course, via theory and practical exercises, discover how lines, forms and colours create movement, depth, harmony and interest in an artwork. 
We will use acrylic paint, soft pastels and paper collage for our exploration.

Basic materials provided, although we recommend bringing your own paintbrushes. Please wear clothes suitable for a studio environment, and bring a bag or portfolio suitable for taking work home at the end of each session.

All abilities welcome, but best suited to beginners.
