Description

This class is designed to provide both an understanding of design principles and a methodology for applying them. I believe that composition is something you learn in the studio. It is an artificial structure we impose on Nature. It involves taking the raw material Nature provides and translating it into a work of art.

In this course we will cover:

  • general principles of good painting design
  • common compositional types
  • study of masterworks as well as contemporary paintings to dissect and analyze compositional structure
  • organization of value masses for maximum effect (e.g., counterchange, variety, asymmetry)
  • designing for movement and rhythm through the picture plane
  • using reference materials – editing, selection
  • methodology for planning and your compositions (e.g., thumbnails, value sketches)
