Develop your figure-painting skills in this series of art classes for adults at Auckland Art Gallery for six Saturday afternoons. Immerse yourself in art, meet new people and uncover the extraordinary possibilities of oil paint in depicting the human form.
Students will explore modernism in relation to life painting from clothed and nude models. Beginning with a tour of The Robertson Gift: Paths through Modernity, students will be introduced to modern artists who broke from classical representations of nature. Students will adopt modernist techniques to drawing and painting, gaining a deeper understanding of colour, light and abstraction of the human form. A focus on observing the figure through a planar approach will aid in composition, colour balance and harmony in painting.
Every Saturday, from 15 February until 22 March.
$2 per hour to a max of $12 on weekends and a $12 flat rate for weekday evenings at The Civic car park. Find out more.
