MASTER WORKSHOP: The Life Studio as Painted and Perceptual Space
ALL LEVELS
Stuart Shils
This intensive studio class offers a carefully orchestrated setting to engage students in the comprehensive understanding of pictorial concerns as well as challenging participants to go beyond a literal, naturalistic description of “the figure.” Students will focus on learning to “see” and how to shape a graphic response in painted space by considering pictorial structure, composition and expanding observational skills. Shils will present a series of exercises and explorations to understand that abstraction–composition with shape and color–is the foundation behind all painting. Considerable emphasis will be placed on drawing in a variety of materials, drawing for its own sake and not as something that “sits” under a painting. Daily demonstrations as well as analyzing the work of master painters will serve to deepen personal understanding and direction in one’s own work. Students will work both independently and collaboratively on assignments. The workshop will open with a 90 minute public slide lecture at Concord Art on Thursday evening, June 1.
