Cut. Paste. Construct. The Figure. with Nancy Gruskin

MEDIUM: Collage- 3D Paper and Cardboard Constructions

ALL LEVELS

ONLINE WITH LIVE MODEL THROUGH ZOOM VIDEO MEETING.
 

Working from a clothed model posing live on Zoom, we will make cut-paper and cut-cardboard
collages and paper and cardboard constructions of the figure. Prior to each meeting with the
model, the instructor will give a detailed list of supplies needed for that session (see the supply
list linked below for an overview). At the beginning of each live model session, the instructor will
briefly review the exercises for the day before turning the screen over to the model, who will
hold short and long poses, depending on the exercises for that day. Exercises will encourage
you to focus on gesture and shape and to experiment with materials and working methods.
There will be four sessions with the model and two sessions in which we discuss the work made
in previous weeks, go over new concepts, and examine slideshows of the work of modern and
contemporary artists. This class is intended as a springboard for your own artistic practice,
rather than as an introduction to anatomy or a specific method of working; however, beginners
are welcomed and encouraged! A computer, laptop, or large-screen tablet is advisable for
Zoom meetings, as adequately viewing the model on a smartphone screen poses a challenge.
An additional model fee of $25 will be paid to the instructor directly. All classes will be
recorded and students will have access to these recordings for the duration of the class
plus one week.
