Participants will learn the underpainting method to master light and shadow, capture evocative frames from the film, and translate its visual and auditory elements—movement, sound, patterns, and human emotion—into unique painted artworks. The course emphasises critical thinking, personalised instruction, and culminates in a group critique and presentation, fostering artistic growth and a deeper appreciation for the museum's collection.
