Join us on a journey through the geometric arts of Ancient Egypt ... The profound relationship between qualitative geometry and the forms of architecture and sculpture is no where better expressed than in the ancient egyptian tradition. During this course we will be drawing inspiration from the work of R.A. Schwaller de Lubitcz, John Michell and others. The philosophical implications of the golden section in Egyptian art will be covered. The Pyramids: the pyramids and earth measure - we will draw and model the great pyramid of Giza to scale.
Love ceramics and want to learn more about sculpture? Join these fortnightly sessions and learn the principles of building with clay; using ‘Slab’ @Coi’ and fine modelling techniques to produce figurative work. This will include an exploration of clay thickness; consistency; strength; shrinkage and using supports. Clay costs included in the session, but should you wish your piece to be fired there will be a small additional charge.
An amazing art holiday with cultural visits, food tasting, drawing en plein air... and a complete course to discover the secrets of oil painting.
