The Ideal Online Art Course for Beginner Artists!
If you have ever wished you could learn how to draw and paint then this course will give you all the basic fundamental art skills you need to start your journey as an artist.
Drawing and painting can be learnt just like we learn to read, write or speak another language. You don’t have to be born “talented” to be able to learn to draw, paint or express yourself through art. As long as you have a desire to do so, the ability to read the course notes and can hold a pencil to write your name then you can learn to draw and paint. The Complete Drawing and Painting Certificate is especially designed to provide you with all the skills needed to learn to draw and paint realistically in a short period of time.
In this 42 week course you are presented with a combination of traditional art techniques, methods and procedures used by many professional artists throughout the ages, combined with contemporary information on the four major comparison skills which we are all born with. The information is introduced in small logical steps which (when put into correct practice) leads to the whole skill of being able to draw and paint.
Unit 1 Drawing
During the first unit you will start off with the basics, learning how to draw outlines and pick up from where most adults have left off; at about a 12 year old child’s ability. You will be refining your ability to compare angles, lines and curves. In the final two weeks of this unit, your newly acquired skills will culminate in one final drawing.
Unit 2 Paint and Mix Colours
In this unit you will learn how to paint in acrylics even if you have never picked up a brush since you were a child, or at all.
Unit 3 Shading
During this unit you will see your drawings transform before your eyes from a simple outline into an amazing realistic three-dimensional image. Outline drawings are supplied to help you along the way.
Unit 4 Portraiture
During this unit you will learn about the proportions of the face, how to develop a portrait right from one single vertical and horizontal line. You will be given loads of instruction on how to draw hair which can be adapted into drawing animal fur as well.
Unit 5 Perspective
This is a fun and fascinating section of the course and when combined with all of your previous knowledge will help you to draw many things that you previously may not have even considered.
Unit 6 Compose Art
The epitome of the entire course, this unit brings together every aspect of the course. This course will take you through the stages of how to bring a simple thought or idea into a completed artwork. This enables you to create art that you might either consider exhibiting into competitions, selling or even decorating your own home with.
