Week 1
Live Drawing
Drawing and painting
Children will observe unusual objects and draw how they see them followed by re-inserting the object into space by visually interpreting the object's surroundings.
Week 2
Urban Sketching
Sketching
Accompanied by their teacher, students will work outdoors at Alserkal Avenue and sketch the urban scenes they come across including buildings, nature and people.
Week 3
From Observation to Surrealism
Painting
Using their best sketch from the previous class, students will paint an urban scene. Then Week 1's drawing will be used to disrupt the overall painting and create an unusual interpretation of the object's place and function.
Week 4
Peeking Through
Collage
Using one of the artworks from the first three weeks, students will create an imaginary scene within a previously drawn space. This will allow children to tell their own story and re-interpret what they see around them.
Week 5
Light and Shade
Painting
Using a reference image, students will learn to give depth to a drawing using shading. In this workshop, children will create an imaginary source of light and show where it is situated through light and dark contrasts.
Week 6
Anatomy of a friend
Drawing and Collage
Working in pairs, students will draw portraits of each other using only one line before transforming the sketch into an expressive collage.
