Painting and drawing is defined as artistically expressing reality as well as abstract concepts, thoughts, feelings and impressions in a 2-dimensional form on paper. But how should I start? The course will focus on questions surrounding and methods governing the process of artistic visualisation of what is seen and of how it is perceived. We will therefore deal illustratively with such topics as image structure, composition, three-dimensionality and the theory of colour. Through this process we will not only explore classical techniques, but also learn about other artistic methods including frottage, collage and free colour composition. The majority of the work will be conducted in the VHS studio, but on several occasions you will have a chance to draw in the city, as well as in the market hall. The knowledge and skills acquired during the course will assist in consciously controlling the creative processes as well as overcoming possible creative blocks. The course is open to all those who wish to learn about the basic principles of visual arts or prepare for a university entrance application. Please be sure to bring some charcoal, pens and paper. Further information regarding materials used will be provided at the first meeting.

The language of instruction is English. Advices towards the work can be given individually in English, German and French.
