Life Drawing with Rachael Burke (5 week blocks)

This experimental, spontaneous and engaging course allows you to explore the human form in all its permutations. Teaching methodologies focus on creative spontaneity and free expression, encouraging students to connect with the energy of the subject in a non-analytical way. This often entails working at speed to disengage with the intellect and our tendency to anticipate an outcome. This approach results in dynamic, energetic, unbounded drawings. The course is broken into two - 5 week blocks. The first block covers mark-making, gestural and contour drawing, tonality and form, negative space, forshortening and portraiture, and is ideal for beginners. The second block is less-structured and more self-driven. Students will look at a number of contemporary artists as a source of developmental exploration of their drawing practice. Returning students are welcomed to sign up for either 5 week block. MATERIALS REQUIRED: MATERIALS REQUIRED: A2/A1 sketch pad white + black/gray or brown (individual sheets are also fine). Bulldog clip; Selection of pencils: HB, B, 2B, 4B, 6B. Compressed charcoal sticks; Soft pastels (white,gray, brown); Putty eraser. Vivid or sharpie + red, blue, black ball-point pen. Long sticks from the garden. Acrylic Ink or watercolor (black) - Please bring 3 small jars as we will make up 3 different tones of ink. Reasonable quality paper to absorb ink, (wet strength cartridge paper is good. The heavier gsm the better) - will be used in the last class of the first block. Advanced students feel free to complement with your own preferred materials. $215/$200 (LH Member)

Mixed Media Portraiture with Rachael Burke

Students will traverse art history by looking at the collages of Hanah Hoch, the portraiture of Pablo Picasso & Frida Kahlo, and contemporary artists Wangechi Mutu, Elizabeth Peyton and Marlene Dumas. Students will start drawing, using a photograph, either found or personal, as a means of conceptual investigation. Students will bring 2 - 3 photos of their choice, making a variety of works over the term. Individual portraits, family portraits (including pets) are ideal, or do a mixed media work of an icon - you as the artist can choose. Photographs that include objects or are situated inside a room or in nature are ideal as they add layers of complexity, enhancing the use of multiple mediums.  $260/$240 (LH Member) MATERIALS REQUIRED: Selection of pencils: HB, B, 2B, 4B, 6B. Eraser. 2 - 3 portrait photographs of your choice (found photos or from your personal archive - preferably with objects/situated in a room or outside). Acrylic Ink (Paynes Grey and Sepia Tone). Soft tip watercolor brushes small/medium/large. Acrylic paint (selection of your choice - including primary colors). Small/ medium/ large round and square bristle brushes. Sketch pad (A3) for preliminary drawings. Watercolour paper pad for acrylic ink experimentation (A4) (between 230-300gsm).

Magazines or books you are willing to cut up (tutor will provide some found photographic imagery). Glue for sticking collage (modge podge, Golden soft gel medium or paper glue)
