Discover and explore women artists and create your own masterpiece inspired by their work. Explore painting techniques, including texture, light and shade, colour, composition, and perspective. Women artists have been marginalised and misrepresented throughout history. This has often been due to socio-political mores of the given era. Through practical workshops and group discussion, students will examine the issues that lie behind this marginalisation.
Led by Maria Tavares, artist and art tutor, this five week course will explore the history of women in art. Through a series of practical hands-on exercises, students will learn painting techniques using acrylics, as well as having the opportunity to study Tate’s collection of work by women artists.
