Freehand Drawing

The course focuses on creative ways to use drawing as a form of artistic expression.

On the Freehand drawing course students will try out and train different drawing tools and materials such as the pencil, ink with pen (and brush), charcoal, graphite and different kinds of pens and paints. Students will draw at home and at public locations, interiors and exteriors. The aim is to develop one’s drawing skills, widen the range of tools and materials to use, develop one’s perception and motoric skills, and eventually develop one’s artistic expression and find tools, themes and motives that enable a lifetime habit of drawing and the use of drawing as a part of one’s art and thinking by drawing. Students create a group exhibition in the end of the course.

The course includes: Drawing exercises, creative working, personal guidance, independent work and group exhibition.

Note: This course is taught on campus. It is only possible to take part in this course by participating in contact teaching.
