Meeting Times: Sundays 10AM - 1PM
This workshop will serve as foundation to understanding figure ground relationship and offer tools for understanding the abstract qualities that are inherent in all representational images. We will work from still life for two sessions, transcription from artworks for one session, and conclude with a figure drawing session at the last session.
The primary objective of this workshop is to introduce various ways of approaching different subject matters. Students will gain a variety of visual tools (such as value blocking, sighting techniques, rhythmic construction, etc.) that explore matters of plasticity, visual poetry, and command of lines and values. Along the way, students will also discover the uniqueness of their own perceptual experience and how that translates into the way one communicates and thinks visually. This course will equip students to critically approach their own works while embracing the challenges of creatively solving the dilemma between one’s eye and mind in the process of image-making.
