Exploring the natural world through abstraction.
Beginning by spending time exploring the natural world participants will go out on location to a number of different places in order to gather visual research, inspiration and found objects to bring back into the studio. In the studio we will then explore ways to develop our finds through a range of methods and materials. We will look at working with colour palettes found in nature, draw from natural forms considering things as diverse as geology, patterns, tree and plant structures, textures and substances as well as the wider landscape. This course is geared at anyone interested in understanding the principles of abstraction and using the natural world as a stimulus to create a variety of dynamic pieces. Guided by artists, including Per Kirkeby, Varda Caivano, Joan Mitchell and Andreas Eriksson, we will use our research and development as a springboard into an abstract painterly world of possibilities. |
