Teacher workshops: exploring colour through paint
Saturday 29 February 2020 10am - 4pm
The Clore Learning Centre, Burlington Gardens, Royal Academy of Arts
£75, includes light refreshments, materials and exhibition entry.
Develop your art-making skills in a full-day workshop led by a practising artist, and explore the exhibition, gathering ideas to take back to your classroom.
Led by artist Emyr Williams, this practical one-day workshop will focus on exploring expressive and experimental strategies in handling paint. Develop your confidence through a series of fun and stimulating exercises which promote invention and engagement with materials.
Use paint to gain an insight into the nature of paint and its potential. Reflect on and respond to the pieces you produce, and work on developing your critical feedback skills. This session will give you the licence to develop your own practice, encouraging you to take new skills and ideas back to the classroom.
The session will include:
• Experimenting with the expressiveness of paint
• Exploring practical colour theory and colour spaces
• Working from the motif to the abstract
• Strategies to take back to the classroom
