Twelve-week class beginning September 10, 2024
Course Description:
Taking inspiration from ancient methods of image making this course will introduce students to the process, material and history of painting with organic and inorganic pigments. Raw pigments have a distinct aura that when mixed with organic binders, in varying densities, can be used to achieve ethereal surfaces. Students will learn to work with pigments such as calcium carbonate, powdered clays etc. Along with color theory discussion, and the completion of two-dimensional self-directed artworks, assignments will guide students through various experiments in traditional techniques of paper sizing and mounting. Students will be introduced to techniques of foraging from natural surroundings and this course will culminate in a presentation of completed work. The course will include lectures and resources for self-study.
