ERUA and New Bulgarian University (NBU) are announcing an intensive course “Impasto and Abstract Painting for Everyone” that will take place at NBU, between the 15th and the 18th of May.
During this intensive course students will be introduced to the world of fine art and painting. Impasto painting and abstract painting are well-known styles that are easy to achieve with the proper technique for a particular task. We will discuss the role of brush strokes, palette knife strokes, and the material aspect of art in everyday life.
Along with the practical sessions the course also offers a brief view of fine art history in search of the fundamentals connecting abstract images with emotions, shapes, and forms. On the last day we will review the paintings done by the students and the lecturer during the intensive course.
The course is organized around three 8-hour long painting sessions and a fine art history review.
Assessment:
The examination will be held through an Art colloquy on the last day. Six hours will be dedicated to examinations of students’ works with contemporary up-to-date comparisons between popular brands and artists and our works.
The course will also discuss how to present our work on social media and make the best for our future advertisements.
On successful completion the course will award 3 ECTS.
Who can apply:
We are looking for 20 Bachelor and Master degree students with interests in fine arts, coming from ERUA Universities.
Place: New Bulgarian University, Sofia, Bulgaria.
