Led by Larisse Hall.In this fun class students will 'draw' using line as a powerful drawing tool!
Traditional artistic aids such as composition, perspective, form, tone and colour will be readily utilised. Explained, simplified, then used in class, these skills will become the backbone of the students artistic journey.
Commencing with a brief introduction to some of the world's historically famous line artists; the class will briefly discuss 'why' these artists works enamour us today. Freeing preconcpetions around the use of line and drawing!
Liberated, students will allow their artist self free to 'sketch' a variety of subject matter from still life through to portraiture, producing fun and unique line sketches of their own. Sketches will happen over various time frames from 3 second to 30 minute observational drawings.
Students will gain an understanding of time as a drawing aid to achieve differing results
The class will finish with a quick show, share and thoughts experience.
An international award-winning artist living in Nelson, New Zealand, Larisse Hall combines traditional techniques of painting and form with the science and colour of infused physical light to produce works of art that live and breathe, transforming over time. Her work acknowledging time as our most precious commodity.
Larisse's painting practice has developed significantly since 2008, when she left her position in the fashion industry to pursue her art practice full time. Never fully separating her two worlds; they are now intrinsically intertwined, each feeding and enriching the other.
Once asked to separate her artist self from her creative being, she realized that each inspires the other and together they make her whole.
Environmentally aware, her art and classes encourage sustainability. This, combined with her organic approach to her garden and life, supports the whakatauki:
'Manaaki whenua, manaaki tangata, haere whakamua'
'Care for the land, care for the people, so we may go forward'
