SUMMARY:Short Art Course - Sunflowers\, Notan and Abstraction
DESCRIPTION:Over this exciting three-day course we will be drawing\, cutting\, collaging\, editing\, evaluating\, analysing and painting our way to create a path to abstraction using sunflowers as a subject matter. We will be exploring the Notan theory and focusing on seeing tonal colour\, elements of composition\, shape and tone. All levels welcome\, including beginners. \nStarting with careful observation and a loose still-life drawing of sunflowers we will then create a collage using the Notan theory in tonal papers. On days 2 and 3 we will take our ‘Notan’ piece and abstract it further: you can then choose to work in either acrylics\, oils\, watercolour\, collaged papers or mix your media. With each piece that is created you will be encouraged to find your own unique style. \nParking is available in front of the school in the school car park\, on the street and in the village hall car park nearby. Complimentary refreshments are available throughout the day. Please bring a packed lunch.

SUMMARY:Short Art Course - Kitchen Sink Lithography
DESCRIPTION:Kitchen sink lithography (or kitchen litho) is a non-toxic\, accessible printmaking technique that adapts the principles of traditional lithography by using items found in your kitchen cupboard-aluminium foil\, Coca-Cola\, oil-based crayons / pastels and vegetable oil-instead of heavy stones and toxic chemicals. It works by creating a greasy image on foil\, which is then etched with acidic cola and inked up\, allowing the drawn image to grab ink\, repel water to be transferred to paper. \nWhat to bring\nApron\nThick cartridge paper\, or some small change to buy some from the school.\nKitchen roll or cotton rags\nWooden spoon\nSponge. (The best one to get is a Spontex Handy Sponge.)\nA permanent marker like a Sharpie. \nParking is available in front of the school in the school car park\, on the street and in the village hall car park nearby. Complimentary refreshments are available throughout the day. Please bring a packed lunch.
