Abstracting the Landscape

This module will enable students to develop skills in picture-making by means of studies made out of doors, on location, on a landscape theme. Students will be encouraged to develop their responses to colour, mood and atmosphere, memories, the effects of light and multiple views. They will apply drawing and painting skills to gather information from different sources and process them into a resolved work of art. The module will encourage students to try and retain the freshness of their first impressions of seeing the landscape and provide an opportunity to study the changes in the landscape due to atmospheric conditions and seasons.
