INTRODUCING A NEW WORKSHOP @ BACAA
TRADITIONAL FIGURATIVE DRAWING & PAINTING
JUNE 3-14 : 2013
This 10-day workshop will offer a discourse on the principles, techniques, and practices of the Traditional Arts, namely the Greek and Roman aesthetic and philosophical traditions and their impact on Western Realism from the 16th Century, through the High Baroque and onward to present-day. We will be working towards an acknowledgment of the experiences and methodologies of our predecessors and a willingness to honor their discoveries. I will also do my best to pass on what I learned through my studies at Studio Escalier (The Next Eclectics) and at Ecole Albert Defois with Ted Seth Jacobs (Restructured Realism). The class will be split between drawing and painting equally. I will introduce different types of exercises based on the elements and fundamentals of traditional practice in the life class. The length of the poses will vary according to the exercises being stressed. There will be thorough demonstrations and lecturing with a lot of individual critique. There will be a long demonstration early in the course, which takes you through the technical process of building a figure drawing step by step.
THIS WORKSHOP WILL BE SIMILAR IN FORMAT TO A CLASS THAT I AM PRESENTLY TEACHING @ CALIFORNIA ART INSTITUTE.
