HEAD STARTS
ONLINE WORKSHOP. Portraits from art history will be the point of departure for the study of pictorial structure, with a focus on the head. We will touch upon the universal proportions of the head; a simple, intuitive drawing method will be introduced to help with drawing accuracy. Mediums may include graphite, collage, gouache, acrylic and/or oil. Each participant will choose and examine one or two images from art history and generate permutations through exercises that lead to simplification and abstraction. This rigorous and wide-ranging analysis of images from our painting ancestors will feed our own work and imaginations as we engage with images that speak to us still. We will meet on Zoom and share work on the Padlet platform.
