‘Fishing’ For trainees Capabilities Through Structured Projects

These projects, although simple, help to determine trainees idiosyncrasies, whilst introducing simple creative concepts, such as, drawing and painting techniques. Misconceptions within art are also addressed early to avoid any confusion later. Simple concepts such as, layering and contrast to create the illusion of depth are repeated using different themes, which inturn help to consolidate information for trainees, helping them to remember as much as possible.

These Projects Are:

• Identity-  ’All About Me’, coloured pencil and water colour techniques whilst discovering ‘all about them’ and creating the front cover for their art folder..
• Nature – Introducing recording and oil pastel drawing techniques.
• Cubism (Analytical & Synthetic) – Introducing collage, portraiture and the self– portrait.
• Landscape – Introducing For-Shortening, texture and colour schemes.
• Waterscape (Lake or Sea) – Introducing reflections and consolidating knowledge and understanding so far.
