This course is for English-language participants.

In the basic year, you will deal with all the basic principles by studying from observation and from photography. You will start drawing anything and everything in your immediate surroundings, with the possibility to use ink and acrylic paints. By working on specific assignments you’ll investigate what constitutes an image. The lessons will be given by Jim Harris, a native English artist.

He teaches with passion and leads you to study particular aspect, such as form, composition, colour and space. How, for example, to get the right proportions or form down on your paper? How to work with light and shadow in a drawing? What’s possible with colour in a painting? Or, how to create the suggestion of spatial perspective? In this course, you’ll learn more about all this and also be introduced to work after a photo.

The basis course starts twice a year, once in February and again half of September. After you have done the first half year, you can continue on the same time in the second half year to follow the other lessons of the basic year.
