Foundation Approach

One Year Six Women Artists: I am so looking forward to delving into these women artists and learning about their Art and Life. We will explore how these artists made their own art and respond to this through our own creative journey employing their styles and subject matter and then we will bounce off each artist pushing our own art practice.

Testimonial

Jayne

I have been attending the Foundation class at the Art School Cheddar for five years. During this time I have experienced painting with acrylic and watercolour, collage, printing and working in 3D. Katrina is inspirational and challenges each member of the group to achieve their potential. ‘Art Tuesday’ is my favourite day of the week;I love it!

Inspired by my own art college experience, ‘The Foundation Approach’ is an exciting and fast paced practical course designed to progress student's ability by stretching and challenging, underpinned with historical context throughout.

ABOUT

WHY CHOOSE THIS COURSE

If you want to really delve into your art and challenge your own practice this is the ideal course for you. 'The Foundation Approach' is designed for novice art students who wish to create a portfolio of work and can be a stepping stone to further education. However, it equally works for those who wish to continue at Art House Art School as each year the themes change.

The group dynamic is supportive and everyone encourages one another. The art works created over the year culminates into an end of year art exhibition.
