The workshop example
“Bad artists copy. Good artists steal.”- Pablo Picasso
Fundamentals of Narrative Painting – The course is based on in-depth Hands-On Analysis (HOA) of classical paintings in order to study and apply the composition rules these masterpieces exhibit. Through HOA practices and using artworks that differ by style and composition, students will be exposed to a variety of approaches for developing effective paintings. Observation and learning will be supported by lectures and demonstrations. Through student presentations and group discussions, students will be encouraged to develop their own distinctive artistic style. During this course, students will develop a strong understanding of the principal rules of composition, master three HOA practices, and will try to recreate a Homage study of the selected masterpieces in each student’s unique style. Through this course, students will be exposed to water-based media and master their skills in producing color studies.
