The objective of the class is to search for an authentic visual language through  experimentation.  This class is unconcerned with formulas, fashion, trends, or novelty, but rather focuses on discovering, deep seeing.   Although students will discuss both contemporary and historical works, mostly, they will draw, draw, and draw again.  This class is about understanding, as opposed to  copying, what has been done before as a basis for working out optical metaphors.  Working  from the nude, the Lab eschews  distinctions between representation and abstraction.  Drawing from the model  will be used to discuss topics such as design, composition, grey-scale value,  gesture, flow, negative space and other means to achieve plastic visual experiences. Instruction is provided one-on-one and in group critiques. Various  materials are explored. All levels welcome. Model fees are included in the class price.
