The course is structured in three parts. First part aims students to practice various qualities of water based painting and drawing materials. Experimenting with various materials on different compositions is expected on small and big scales. An experimental drawing language of individual is explored. In addition, literary resources selected by students are added to the presentations of experimental Works. Second part of the course will concentrate on the research of artistic movements, art theories and various artist’s works. Lectures and student seminars aim to approach diverse artistic manifestations. Out of class visits to art shows, exhibitions support class research and work to give insight and inspiration for individual work. Choosing texts and writing about them as well as about the art Works visited are natural components of this process. “Signs” and “memories” are defined within verbal, social and cultural materials during this process. The third part will cover to provide more space to students to Express themselves in portraits. Context and composition of the work will make use of previous research and literacy skills on signs and memories to render portraits in a creative and innovative way. |
