Visual Art - Dreaming in Colour 2

Are you interested in exploring painting in a style between realism and abstraction?

This 8-week immersion into collage, colour and painting will draw inspiration from a range of expressionist painters who were more concerned with their emotional responses than an objective reality. Drawing on memory, imagination, dreams and collage this class will step you through a process to help you draw and paint expressively with your own painting signature. This class continues to develop the practices of Dreaming in Colour 1 and is best suited to those who have some art experience or have completed one of our visual arts skill sets before. 

What you will learn:

• Colour theory, colour mixing
• Painting expressively to develop your own painting signature
