February 21 @202 Park Street
11am - 4pm
Ever say to yourself “man, I really don’t think about composition in my work.”
This workshop is for you, then. It distills a lot of the fancy art talk about design and composition into practical information you can start applying right away. We’ll go over some basic principles and elements of design, look at art and discuss how we think those artists used those principles/elements, and then spend the rest of the afternoon in playful ideation mode to come up with our own compositions.
In this workshop you’ll learn about:
the fulcrum, balance, repetition, shapes
high contrast and low contrast
the importance of differences
understanding how we view the world and its application to art
the power of value
the rule of thirds & informal design
Students will work from vintage photos (bring your own if you have any), as well as bring older paintings that didn’t quite work out and may just need a little compositional touch up.
This workshop is beginner friendly, but ideal for advanced-beginners and intermediate students.
