Drawing and Painting - two subjects
About the subject
Drawing – E25 First schedule period (6 weeks)
In this subject on drawing, you will be introduced to the classical fundamentals of drawing. Each session will include an assignment designed to challenge your technical drawing skills. These might include perspective drawing, light and shadow, shading, anatomy, portrait drawing, or playful approaches to expression, atmosphere, and the balance between abstraction and naturalism.
Both experienced artists and beginners are welcome. If you're a beginner, you'll learn the basic techniques that will allow you to continue developing your skills. If you're experienced, you'll have the space and freedom to explore and refine your personal expression.
Painting – E25 Second schedule period (7 weeks)
The painting course offers classical disciplines such as still life, portrait painting, color theory, and composition. Each class will include assignments with a specific focus, but there will also be room for self-direction, allowing you to work in and develop your own style.
We will also discuss the role of painting in society and how basic tools and techniques can be used to express ideas, emotions, and moods.
Both experienced painters and beginners are welcome. If you're a beginner, you'll learn the fundamental techniques needed to continue on your own. If you're experienced, you'll have the time and space to deepen your personal artistic expression.
Your teacher
Anna Østergaard Laursen
Anna has a chefs education from 2014 and has since then used her gastronomical skills in her own small business where she planned and executed specially designed eating experiences for businesses and art exhibitions. She also worked with installation artworks containing edible elements and often performance - and a lot of other things.
Behind her she has a short education in classical drawing and is studying to become a nature guide on the side of working as a højskole teacher.
All of the abilities are often mixed when nature is both edible, a place to eat and an eternal inspiration for artworks. Both as a medium and as a motive.
Anna has worked as a højskolelærer since 2018 and has in this time taught a broad variety of gastronomical, nature, creative and cultural subjects.
In her private life, Anna is very occupied by nature both as a place of immersion and presence but also to go on long hikes. Besides that she spends good amounts of time reading, pickling and fermenting, baking sourdough bread and eating it with a good cheese, creative works and taking care of her bond to her family and friends. She loves cats and very large puzzles.
