No experience needed.
Classes are for beginners and those who feel there are gaps in their understanding of basics.
Bookings now open for Term 4
The Adults Beginner Art Class caters for the absolute beginner as well as those who feel there are gaps in their understanding of basics. No experience is needed.
The course cycles through different units over one year. At any time a student may decide to move into the Intermediate to Advanced group. The emphasis is hands-on. To facilitate this, there will be demonstrations, discussions and viewing of relevant selected artworks.
We aim to introduce you to the basics of painting and drawing in a supportive and flexible environment. Flexibility is important. Every class, and every student, is unique. Where necessary and applicable, the course will be adapted and tailored to the on-going interests and developing expertise of the class and the individual members of the group.
Over a year we cover the folowing:
Colour
The wonder of colour mixing and colour harmonies through colour mixing exercise, viewing works by selected artists and applying this to projects on canvas. We will be looking at ways to apply acrylic paint. Watercolour will be introduced in term 3. Ways of applying paint will be demonstrated and you will have the opportunity to experiment, observe and apply.
Composition
The basic elements of composition and design will be introduced along the way. These are built into everything we do when creating an artwork.
Drawing
We will cover structural and observational drawing, the versatility of charcoal and graphite.

We aim is to encourage students to extend their art practice.
This class aims to cater for different levels of experience and technical skills. Basic understanding of colour and painting techniques is a pre-requisite for this group. The focus is on drawing and painting. Directed activities and discussions are aimed at the extension of concepts and techniques. While online participants work on their artwork, join in the discussion, and have the chance of one-on-one discussions with Nicola about the progress of their work.
A theme is selected for each term as a starting point for directed activities. Ongoing students may decide to keep working on a previous project and be mentored.
You become part of an online art community where you are encouraged, challenged, and mentored.
You are also invited to join the Friday Morning Art Forum (9.30-10.30am) for alumni and current students – a free, weekly recurring forum, which you access by contacting Jennifer via the info@brizart.com.au . The forum is a discussion platform where Brizart artists (current and past) and Brizart tutors meet online to support and encourage each other. Some email images of artworks that are completed, or in progress, and the group discuss, give feedback and enjoy.
All students must provide their own materials, drawing boards, and easels. No doubt you will have your own set of materials already. A basic list of materials is attached.
