In this course the lecturer will work individually with participants and assist them to translate from a medium into paint. During the working sessions we will be looking at how work is translated from one medium to another: such as photography to painting, painting to tapestry, drawings to sculptures, collage to painting, poems to paintings. We will then work from specific images of your choice and translate the selected image into a painting.
