Description:
Representational painting is more than mere illustration of fact. It is an opportunity to express relationships between the viewer, the artist, and the subject. It may be a narrative of coexistence, a point of view enhanced by a range of painterly conventions such as scale, brushwork, color, light, or composition.
The goal of this course will be to explore and interpret visible relationships between structure, space, and volume using the window as the context for an aesthetic dialogue and investigation. Specific studio practices will be introduced and engaged to provide focus and enhancement of the subject matter.
This class will cover the following topics:
- Strategies for interpreting still life and landscape simultaneously
- Contextual relationships regarding scale, perspective, eye movement
- Studio practices that enhance compositional dynamism
- Using a grid for freehand transformation
