Why is the 24 Sessions Art Immersion Course Great For Beginners or Advanced Students?
The 24 Sessions Art Immersion course allows learners to learn 3 mediums – Drawing and sketching, Acrylic painting and/or Watercolour painting. This offers art students the flexibility to explore multiple mediums and develop their art proficiency.
We recommend choosing one main medium to learn and a sub-medium, for example, assigning 16-18 sessions to learn a main medium such as Watercolour painting, and the rest of the sessions to learn Acrylic painting or Drawing and sketching as a sub-medium. Students may also feel free to split their learning on three mediums equally for an exploration and gain a foundation level in all three mediums. It would take 8 sessions to 12 sessions to attain a foundational level of proficiency and 18-24 sessions to attain an intermediate of proficiency
is suitable for participants of all levels. With the validity of 26 weeks, you will have time to build up your foundation, explore all mediums and concentrate on your preferred one. We recommend students to join the class at least once a week to efficiently practice the techniques and keep the momentum. Students will acquire basic skills in drawing and painting:
- Understand composition, colour mixing rules and techniques of complex works;
- Accurately compose object’s form, landscape’s perspective and portrait’s proportion;
- Independently navigate the painting process;
- Understanding of light and shadow;
- Practice the use of colour theory.
For the period of 26 weeks of the course, the student can achieve intermediate level of one preferred medium. For example, a student practice both Pencil Sketching and Acrylic Painting in 24 lesson course. He/she will achieve intermediate competency in Acrylic Painting, while having strong basics in Pencil Sketching.
The topic of the course covers landscape, still life object, portrait, and can be tailored according to the student’s interest and requirements.
