The Symbolic Landscape with Erika B. Hess
May 30 - June 13   Morning
This painting workshop will focus on working between observation and invention to explore color and the symbolic potential of the landscape. The landscape has long offered artists a space for reflection, serving as both a physical and psychological terrain. We will use the Italian landscape as a point of departure to investigate how symbolic narratives emerge through perception and imagination. Working both outdoors and in the studio, students will move between direct observation and invention, using painting, drawing and collage to translate experience. Slide lectures will complement the class as we explore how color, space and symbols can expand our understanding of place and individual perspective.
