using squiggle art- . The purpose of this activity is to create
an atmosphere and a feeling of success in creativity.
- How
to frame your painting- It is useful to understand the evolution

Sistine Chapel below), to actual plaster and timber mouldings used when
oil paintings became transportable.

hue, saturation and value.

design and instinctive proportion- Let us assume we are faced with
the situation where the following picture must be cropped to fit a particular
frame. How should it be done?

how to paint back light works- The simplest, most textural, color
friendly, quickest, easiest to apply and most romantic of all light
is backlight. It also disguises flaws in the original painting.
- Learning ratios
and proportions through scale drawings- To understand that a proportion
is an equivalent relation between two ratios.
- Learn
to draw in the three dimensions- The rendering of a three dimensional
landscape, portrait or still life on a two dimensional surface is to
some people a trick, and we know tricks are mostly magic!
