Painting Courses: Weekly, in-depth visual art explorations

Line, tone, colour...

Art classes weekly in our Studio...in English

We have been so excited by the interest shown by so many in taking up painting as a hobby, or something one would like to pursue in depth! Throughout many requests have we realized that from children to seniors, from the morning to after-work hours, from acrylic to oil, there is a clear call for painting courses in Basel, specially in English.

PIE BASICS

These painting courses run over 6 weeks. During the 2-hour-long classes we learn to handle mediums, materials and surfaces, as well as about color theory, tonality, forms and perspective. We study in an entertaining atmosphere and we realize figurative or abstract images on beginners’ level.

LET’S START!

PIE OPEN COURSE

Open to join any time, this art course is divided into four thematical blocks per year. Each block consists of 12 classes and evolves around a topic. The course is designed to provide students with a broad educational base, thus we work with different materials (acrylic, aquarell, charcoal, pencil, pastelcrayon, collage) and experiment with different techniques.

LET’S CONTINUE!

PIE THEMATIC COURSES

The courses focus on a particular genre or art theme and connect techniques, knowledge and different mediums in order to master the given subject. Each course consists of 4 classes and offers complex understanding and insider techniques into the abundant world of art.

THE OPEN COURSE

The “Painting Club”

The PIE “OPEN” Painting Course is a year long visual art course where we will explore and experience a variety of painting techniques, media, and historical approaches to art.
Through the use of the world inside and outside the Studio, models, photographs, and our own imagination, we interpret and express the painter’s world in a variety of materials including acrylic, oil pastel, watercolor, ink and charcoal. We will be creating on paper, on cardboard, on woodboard and on canvas, as well as in our sketchbooks. All your creations are yours to take and will be collected in a folder of a larger format.

This course will provide a foundation in visual arts concepts with an emphasis on:

* cultivation of creativity and the art-making process,

* self discovery - developing the student’s individual and unique artistic voice,

* the elements of art and principles of design.

The course is divided into four thematic blocks, each consisting of 12 classes and evolving around a topic.
Course Topics:

- Line & Texture
- Shape & Form
- Color & Value
- Shape & Composition

Length: 2,5hrs/class for 12 weeks/block (12 x 2,5 hrs/block)
Price: CHF 660.- 610 CHF (55 CHF/class - 50 CHF bundle discount)
All necessary materials included; folders and sketchbook can be bought in the Studio. If you need anything extra, we are happy to give you recommendations.

THE BLOCKS OF 2021

PIE PASS

PIE OPEN—> We dreamed of an art course, which was open enough to be joined at any point and flexible enough to fit in the calendar of a modern day person without making a lot of sacrifices. Unlike a yoga studio, painting requires more time, therefore we are not yet able to offer multiple classes during the same evening. We understand, that a 12, or even a year long commitment might sound unpredictable for many, and let‘s not forget those, who would like to have a trial before getting a bundle. Sooo here it comes—> THE PIE PASS

Now, you have the chance to buy 1-5-10-20 tickets within your PIE PASS and use them to book your place to the upcoming class(es) of the PIE Open Course.

How it works: Upon purchase of the Pass you will get an email with a coupon code, including the selected number of tickets.
The first 12 seats are reserved for those, who buy the 12 week blocks, since they are planning to come every week. Upon that we will provide 6 extra places for participants coming ad-hoc with their PIE PASS.
If you opt for the PIE PASS and want to be flexible, you just need to book one of the 6 extra places prior to the class. If there are no more places available, then you can come in the morning or on another day. (We would like to give everyone the opportunity, so if we experience an increasing demand, we will open other days to join to the same PIE Open Course.
