Nicola Bealing

Aims

Students should gain an understanding of:

  • How artists are inspired by many and diverse things, and how their work takes many forms, including direct observation from life and landscapes derived from their imagination and memory.
  • How sorting and selecting second-hand images such as photographs can provide the stimulus for a piece of art. How collecting visual images using sketchbooks is a constant occupation of artists, helping them to recall times, places, people and ideas.
  • How an artist organises a paint palette and uses brushes and materials.
  • How an artist prepares for, plans and develops a landscape composition.
  • How use of colour can conjure up mood or atmosphere in a painting.
