This course, for students who have completed at least one life drawing course, will allow students to work in a variety of media, size and scale. Participants communicate a personal point of view through their drawings, according to their own experiences and vision. We will explore the concepts and elements of basic drawing through exercises, critiques and references to contemporary and master works. Develop your visual sensitivity through still-life, portraits, the model, landscapes, making collages and utilizing photographs. Color will be investigated through projects exploring the seven major color contrasts, as well as color and light, color in a three-dimensional context, and the psychology and subjective symbolism of color.
Emphasis is placed on structuring material for efficient access.
In this monotype workshop, participants will use gelatin from the kitchen to make plates, and their hands for presses. Various approaches will be introduced in order for the student to discover a natural process, strengths and an appropriate direction. A variety of artists1 styles will be presented. All levels of students are welcome. Collage and embossing techniques will be demonstrated and students will be encouraged to experiment with unusual papers and materials.
