summer course composition

An important way to make better drawings, paintings or photographs is by improving your compositions. Although there are no real composition rules, there are many guidelines and considerations, that can be be appreciated and practised.

Every single one of these guidelines and considerations are presented to you after which you are invited to PRACTISE that guideline in a project. In these projects you will be either sketching, using (magazine-) COLLAGE or during excursions, using a PHOTO CAMERA (or cell phone). A written syllabus by the teacher is available.

Peter Dammers is a very experienced artist and teacher (drawing, painting and photography) who specializes in composition.
Please appreciate that this course is explicitly designed for BOTH photographers and fine artists. So apart from assessing photographs and collages we shall also be sketching and looking at drawings and paintings.

The sessions are scheduled on 4 week days (no class on Wednesday) from 10:00-16:00, of the week of July 6. The course fee is 310 euro. This includes coffee/tea and lunches, and on Friday afternoon there will be a festive conclusion.
