Description
This course is in two large sections. The first section we look at watercolour painting. That is the actual act of painting. And then the interpretation and understanding of the artwork you have produced (numerous exercises throughout the course). Therefore we look at a variety of techniques - what they mean rather than HOW to paint but WHAT you have painted MEANS.This is an art therapy course; not a painting course.For example we consider: n watercolour painting what might the following represent:AnimalsWeather and celestial elementsBody partsPaths or roads.CloudsBirdsMoonStarsRain or RainbowsOceans, Rivers, LakesTreesThe second half of the course we look at paintings by established masters - and we look closely at such paintings and what the paintings mean. This second half also includes an extract from a painting class where we look at the explanation (and interpretation) of a watercolour painting of lemons - and one of (what looks like) a golf course.All hugely interesting!PLUS! This course comes with a manual so you could print it out and do the exercises when not watching the I(hugely absorbing) lectures. It's up to you but what is important is that you realise that this is a DOING course i.e. one that encourages participation. Also that it will not teach you HOW to paint but it will help you understand WHAT your painting means...about you.
