Reframing the Ordinary: Are We Looking or Seeing?
Stuart Shils Thurs., Oct. 4, 7-8:30 pm
This is an intimate class for mid-range to advanced painters, designers, photographers or architects, for how to understand what you see and how to remake that into clear and intelligent graphic formats on paper. Using pencils and other drawing tools like litho crayons in sketchbooks, we will investigate how to recognize and understand the interior structure of the perceptual moment through drawing. We will also use the digital camera as a viewfinder to compare how the eye sees and how camera lens works, informing and enhancing direct perception. Working in very ordinary places on the street near the Art Center, we will understand how the everyday is visually extraordinary. Each day we will also consider (in slides and reproduction), the work of great masters from the past and present.
Lecture plus 2-day workshop: $181 M/$197 NM

This invaluable, rigorous course will focus on the visual and aesthetic interactions of color on 2-D surfaces. Theories of colorists such as Itten and Albers provide a pivotal structure in which to explore distance color properties and functions. The main goal is to ensure a working understanding of the visual nature of color by training the eye to become highly sensitized and discerning. Students will contextualize this language of color by building a portfolio of painted and collaged compositional studies that will challenge creative expression.
