Description
Four week session to strengthen painting skills, open to students of all levels, strictly limited in size.
ZOOM class: Critique
$187.00
Students will bring work they’ve done on their own for analysis within the group. Critique is a long-standing tool in every intellectual discipline, artistic and technical. It must be disciplined and systematic, but art is at the same time intuitive and subjective. We bridge that gap by analyzing works based on a series of values:
- Focal point
- Line
- Value
- Color
- Balance
- Shape and form
- Rhythm and movement
- Texture (brushwork)
These elements of design transcend style or period. Every painting includes them to some degree. The critic must consider how they work together. Do they coalesce into something arresting or not? What forces are blocking the full expression of the artist’s idea? If our ideas aren’t working, it’s because we’ve run into a problem that another set of eyes can help us unravel.
If you have questions, contact me. The class meets Monday evenings from 6-9 PM.
