Art courses

Fine Art Courses by Akram Al Halabi. A solid training in the skills of drawing and painting. Classes are aimed at “developing” the eye through the way of seeing things and shapes. We focus on the themes the individual participant is interested in and learn how they can be transformed into a form and what kind of techniques could best be used for the work.

it is not just about learning how to draw and paint; it’s a transformative intellectual and creative process that allows participants to develop their innate artistic skills and enhance their ability to express themselves through the arts. Through these courses, participants are equipped with the tools and concepts to see the world in a conceptual way, transforming abstract ideas into works of art.

Courses

  • The lessons are for adults aged 13 and above, with 4 sessions, each lasting 2 hours. The cost is 1000 shekels. The maximum number of students per session is 4.

    The art courses represent a comprehensive and in-depth opportunity to develop drawing and coloring skills, aiming to enhance the ability to perceive shapes and objects in new ways, thus contributing to the expansion of participants' visual horizons. Through modern teaching techniques and practical practices, these courses provide a rich learning environment focused on developing visual awareness, which is a fundamental element in the development of visual arts skills. In addition, emphasis is placed on the importance of conceptual thinking in the artistic creation process, where abstract ideas are transformed into tangible visual forms, contributing to the crystallization of ideas and turning them into works of art that speak for themselves.

    The goal of these courses is not only to learn drawing and coloring techniques but also to stimulate the mind to think critically and creatively, and to develop the ability to see beauty and innovation in everyday details from an artistic perspective. The courses encourage the use of various tools and techniques, which helps in gaining a deep understanding of how to transform concepts into drawings and visual compositions that reveal the hidden aspects of each idea.

    These courses target those interested in fields such as fine arts, architecture, advertising design, fashion design, and other visual fields that require analytical and artistic skills to identify and organize shapes in innovative ways. The courses offer participants the opportunity to develop their skills comprehensively, either through hands-on practice or through guidance and constructive feedback that helps improve creativity and professionalism.

    University students can also benefit from these courses in developing their artistic and academic projects. Special sessions are organized to discuss and review art projects, either through interactive workshops or online sessions.

    In summary, these courses are not just about learning artistic techniques but are a holistic educational experience aimed at broadening participants' perspectives, enhancing their creative expression abilities, and empowering them to present art projects that reflect an advanced level of artistic thought and creativity.

  • For children aged 8 to 13 years, with 4 sessions, each lasting 2 hours. The cost is 1000 shekels. The maximum number of students per session is 4.

    Together, we will immerse ourselves in the child's visual and creative world, tracking the shapes and perceptions that emerge through their imagination and interaction with their surroundings. We will work on turning these wonderful ideas into tangible forms, helping them develop the ability to envision and transform their thoughts into real objects. Special focus will be placed on the area of toy-making, giving particular importance to those toys that the child aspires to design and create themselves, which enhances their sense of self-confidence.

    Throughout this journey, we will use a wide range of diverse materials, from threads and colors to paper, wood, and metal, to learn together how to utilize these materials in innovative and fun ways. The goal is to stimulate imagination through play and open the child’s mind to feel free to express their thoughts and desires through crafting and creativity.

    Through this process, we will encourage the child to explore and experiment, enhancing their critical and conceptual thinking skills, as well as their craft and artistic skills. We will create an environment that stimulates thinking and collaboration, where the child learns not only how to make things but also how to understand the relationships between shapes, colors, and materials.

    As their imagination develops, the child will learn how to face challenges and solve problems in innovative ways, giving them confidence in their abilities and enhancing their ability to work as part of a team and share ideas. They will have the ability to create unique designs that carry their own personal style.

About

  • In the drawing course, we cover the fundamentals of drawing techniques comprehensively, learning how to transfer shapes onto paper with precision and realism. Initially, we focus on still life drawing, practicing the basics of drawing lines and shapes, with an emphasis on how to represent light and shadow accurately. Participants will learn how to build a visual composition and how to distribute elements in space. We also dive into the study of perspective and its various types, where we explore parallel perspective, one-point perspective, and two-point perspective. Each type helps in drawing geometric and architectural shapes realistically, allowing an understanding of the relationships between elements in space. Learning these types of perspective is crucial for representing three-dimensional dimensions on a flat sheet of paper, opening new horizons for artists in creating drawings that deeply understand form in three-dimensional space.

    Regarding the materials used, you will become familiar with essential tools such as various types of pencils (from soft to hard), charcoal, as well as different types and weights of paper. We also use the eraser not only to correct mistakes but also to add fine details.

    Through these lessons, participants will be able to understand drawing and planning techniques, using materials and tools creatively, helping them develop their skills in a professional manner.

  • In the oil or acrylic painting course, we learn the advanced fundamentals that help us master painting techniques with these mediums. Initially, we focus on the process of transferring color values and shape lines from reality to the canvas, learning how to work with colors and their harmonic relationships.

    We will explore the color wheel and the color sphere, which are vital tools for understanding the relationships between different colors. We will also learn about complementary colors and how to use them to create strong contrast or harmony between colors in the artwork. Through hands-on experiments, we will practice mixing colors and understanding the basic gradients of color families, whether warm or cool, as well as how to work with color reflections.

    Color composition is a central element in oil or acrylic painting, where we learn how to build color harmony between warm and cool colors to achieve balance and unity in the artwork. This includes understanding how to use colors to create specific visual effects, such as light and shadow, and the psychological effects that different colors evoke in viewers.

    As for the materials used, oil paints and acrylic paints offer distinct visual results, as they differ in application and drying methods. You will become familiar with the brushes suitable for each type of paint, how to choose painting mediums, and how to use varnish for protecting the painting. Additionally, you will learn about the canvas, which is the primary surface for painting.

    Through this experience, you will learn how to use these materials professionally to create rich artistic effects. In the end, participants will gain the ability to express themselves freely through oil or acrylic painting techniques, striving to develop a unique artistic style that combines creativity and technique.

  • Sculpture courses are specialized workshops aimed at teaching participants the art and techniques of sculpture using various materials and tools, with the ability to transform solid materials such as stone, metal, clay, and wood into three-dimensional works of art. In these courses, participants learn how to shape and mold materials to embody ideas and concepts.

    The materials used in sculpture are diverse and include wood, metal, clay, as well as other materials. We will learn about the properties of these materials and how to interact with them correctly to achieve the desired effects. Sculpture helps participants gain a better understanding of three-dimensional visual composition, as they learn how to work with space and mass, distributing weight between different parts to ensure the intended balance. This also includes learning how light and shadow interact with sculpted surfaces and how to direct light to create specific effects.

    Sculpting with clay is particularly easy to shape, allowing artists to continuously make adjustments to their work. These models can also be turned into molds using plaster or cast with other materials.

    The course helps participants learn how to use tools correctly, how to work with different materials, and how to apply techniques to their projects. It provides a platform to understand and apply both traditional and modern sculpture techniques, enabling participants to express their creativity by transforming raw materials into tangible works of art.
