The workshop considers how to approach and render space and conceptualise place in an artwork. Different spaces are considered such as urban and architectural space; landscape; and interiors. There is focus on psychospace and the creation of mood and the associations embedded in colour, as well as on the importance of line and mark making in articulating psychospace. 
 
The workshop includes an introductory PowerPoint presentation considering how the topic of the workshop finds application in examples of local and international artworks. Concise theoretical and art historical background is provided.  
In preparation artists will have to create a work for the workshop; after discussion it will be completed/changed during the workshop. Bring own materials as well as an additional canvas or sheet of paper to the workshop.
