Overview

This online module is designed to develop the experience of working from life by introducing you to a broad range of painting, drawing and colour theory skills whilst developing your own individual strengths. Projects will cover issues from the history of the genre of Still Life from early times, through to symbolism and narrative. We will study how this genre has morphed into the contemporary view of Still Life.

No bottles or pans will be drawn on this course - unless you want to, of course! You will be asked to work through tasks form each unit and send your work for feedback and then finish the module with a self-directed project showing a synthesis of your learning.
