Course Title:   Conceptual Art Development

These brand new courses deal more with considering your own understanding with issues such as your responses to ideas, materials and techniques towards your environment and especially your reaction to creative stimulus.

Symbolic reactions are investigated through elements of art and media. Content and context are explored in various ways by drawing your attention to internal commentary rather than mechanical copying. Plenty of self-study, material collection and homework is required. A lot of discussions, demonstrations, slide shows and experimentation will be held in class.

Classes will be around 2- 4 hours depending on the curriculum. There is less emphasis on your skill at drawing and painting and more on your ideas and implementation thereof.

Ever heard the dangerous comment “I don’t know anything about art, but I know what I like”. This course will investigate and examine the relationship between the artist, his work, his public, his intent and the viewers’ responsibility in terms of considering an art work instead of judging it.

You do not have to be an art guru to understand and appreciate visual arts; your mind only needs to be dilated and unblocked from incorrect perceptions. To appreciate is not the same as to like. Our aim is to educate by means of illustration, considering values and to discuss, an art works’ elements and content.

You will realise that art is more powerful than opinion. The history segment will consist out of a short chronological discussion, thereafter you can choose an area of study that interests you most to complete a project in. All will form part of finding your ‘voice’ as an artist. Each student will have a different syllabus and is of a conceptual nature, not a popular nature.

COURSE STRUCTURES:

All the Courses comprise the best Teaching Methods to educate you with ALL that you need to know. It works on both the physical and the intuitive levels - to help you understand, interpret and apply structure and logic to your working methods and to acquire deep concentration.

Creative ability ensues due to ‘clicks’. Some experience it earlier than others, also dependant on the type of subject (or dynamic) to be understood and implemented, but if the student allows him/herself to trust and believe processes; creative understanding occurs. Whether art, and the making of it, is generated intellectually or spiritually, it contains strange powers that can be exploited to heart’s content.

If you think you aren’t good enough to draw or paint, you are encountering your first very important challenge – your mind restricting you from creativity. If you apply structure and patience, you will become empowered, then add experience and you will become praiseworthy. These ‘structures’ aren’t available in books or with money greedy art teachers. They can only teach what they know. And do not care about external comment or competition – the mere fact that you are creatively involved is your personal acknowledgement of your own power.

GO FOR IT!!!

Blah-blah-blah. Talent is experience applied in a structured way. Its stigma is very wide off the mark. All our students (whether talented or not) are accomplished and fully competent today. You dont have to worry about it at all. By following small and clever steps, you will gain stunning results. HOW ARE THE CLASSES CONDUCTED? A limited number of people are in a class and everyone is occupied with his/her own work. The atmosphere is relaxed, with music and coffee/tea served with every class. Interaction is limited to your specific personality. It is all about art. Beginners and Advanced students are mixed so the beginner will visually be exposed to different media and techniques. HOW EXPENSIVE ARE THE ART MATERIALS? We suggest you gradually build up and accumulate art materials. For DRAW1, you are looking at roughly R100 for all your materials, thereafter you always start with a basic set of media and systematically build on to that with individual tubes or sticks. Most art materials are available from us. WHAT MORE DO I NEED TO KNOW? Workshops are held periodically on Sundays and are not compulsory. They include anatomy, printing, techniques, different media and many other subjects relevant to interest and requests. They are usually around 4 to 6 hours long. Portfolios for tertiary admission have long been a part of the classes and thus far enjoyed phenomenal success. However, the student needs sufficient time to complete his/her drawing training before setting about portfolios. Classes are conducted in English and Afrikaans. Ages 14 to 300. You may join for a minimum of 24 classes. Missed classes cannot be redeemed or refunded. There are recesses during the year when no classes are given. You will still receive 24 classes per subscription (unless otherwise stipulated). You receive 1 class per week, 24 classes REGISTRATION Physical registration is required for all parties. When you have completed your registration form, you can organize with our offices for a suitable time to come in to one of the studios for registration.
