Why is the foundation of modern painting and drawing, this theory of push/pull, so engaging? You will create figure drawings and collages that respond to this natural law of art while searching for your authentic visual language.
Each of the five week workshops begins with a lecture about one of Hofmann’s students: Lee Krasner, Robert De Niro Senior, Jan Müller and Selina Trieff. For the first four Saturdays, there are three and a half hours of guided exercises each week, with a model as our prompt, that give you a profound understanding of how your lines, shapes, and compositions push and pull on a two-dimensional surface.
Everyone will produce enough pieces during the course for a cohesive body of work. On the last day, February 11th, we will present our work in a powerpoint presentation in CCMoA’s auditorium.
