2-DAY MASTER COPY DRAWING WORKSHOP @ CAI : MARCH 23 & 24

2-DAY MASTER COPY DRAWING WORKSHOP

CALIFORNIA ART INSTITUTE

SATURDAY & SUNDAY : MARCH 23 & 24

    AFTER JACOPO PONTORMO

This workshop will provide students an opportunity to study the principles of human structure as revealed in the drawings of the Masters of the past. I will encourage students to think schematically & structurally. After drawing a very simple block-in, comprised of correct tilts and distances, we will get right into the special character of each structure. We will discuss certain form attitudes, triangular configurations, and the dynamic structuring of space. In addition: weight and the effects of gravity, thrust & counterthrust, gesture, reciprocal action, continuity & discreteness, locomotion, articulation, and foreshortening. Come join me for an action-packed two-day Intensive.
