VISUAL ARTS<br />
Landscape Painting<br />
In this course, students will learn how to create artistic<br />
representations of natural environments such as<br />
mountains, forests, waters, fields, coastlines and sunsets.<br />
Landscape painting can be created using a variety of<br />
water-based medium: acrylic, watercolour and gouache.<br />
Although the realistic representation of the natural world<br />
will be the main approach, exploring landscape through<br />
illusion is not excluded. The course will cover all that is<br />
needed to create expressive and dynamic paintings: basic<br />
techniques, colour mixing, tonal values, elements of<br />
composition, effects of atmospheric perspective, the ways<br />
to simplify the shapes and forms, and effective editing of<br />
photographic references. Throughout the course, there<br />
will be plenty of short demos, usually at the beginning of<br />
the class. The course is intended for beginners and<br />
intermediates. Just bring your supplies, your passion for<br />
painting, and whatever experience you have and you will<br />
grow as an artist through expanding your observational<br />
and artistic skills.<br />
