Understanding Performance Art
Performance art is art created through a person's body and actions, leaving no physical object behind and existing only in the moment it happens.
Producing a Finished Work
Know when to stop: learn why inexperienced artists finish too soon or push their work too far, and how clear objectives help.
Understanding Video Art
Video art uses time and movement in ways other art forms can't, with roots going back to the 1960s when artists first got their hands on portable cameras.
Contextualising Your Work
How you talk about your art matters as much as the work itself in shaping your career and reputation.
Understanding the Art World
Starting an art career means understanding the art world runs on money, competition, and realistic goals alongside your dedication.
Gouache
Gouache is an opaque, water-based paint that's cheaper and easier to use than oils while delivering bold, vibrant colours.
Realist Painting and Drawing
Realist painting and drawing aim to depict the world as accurately as possible, from Renaissance origins through modern photorealistic approaches.
Using Oil Paint
Oil paint mixes pigment with oil binder and offers versatility in texture, opacity and luminescence despite being replaced by newer mediums.
