St Ives - A Window on the Landscape
|
The Artists of St Ives are united through their love of the sea, abstraction, colour and form, and throughout this 5 week course we will explore their relationship to the landscape and connection to simplified still life forms.
Beginning in the studio, we will consider the connection of 3 dimensional objects to near and deep space, and how to begin connecting them on a 2 dimensional surface. From here, we will explore the abstracting forms of the landscape, finding colour, and building surface. Over the course of the 5 weeks, you will be introduced to a number of mixed media processes that allow you to free up the way you think about painting. The course will culminate in making a series of pieces that explore the connection between object and landscape, inspired by the greats of the St Ives movement. |
