2016 Fall Workshop with SkipLawrence
Philosophy - I believe that form follows function. That techniques and materials are just the tools we use to present our ideas. Ideas are what drive original art. It takes many trials and errors to find your unique mark as an artist. Realism, abstraction, or non-objective styles have nothing to do with quality. What we all seek in art is authenticity of feelings, ideas and presentation. I have found that when students are simply given permission and encouraged to move beyond the ‘rules’ whole new possibilities open to them and their art becomes more honest, exciting and satisfying.
How the class works - Each student is guided to help them find their authentic voice. Their success depends less on skill or experience or media, but on their willingness to look at their own goals and move beyond their status quo. During the week we will have a half hour private consultation to talk about direction and possibilities in technique and ideas. Please bring 10 digital images of your favorite paintings on flash drive or disk to the consultation.
Daily Class Description - Each day I will make a presentation featuring different artist, ideas, and even some technical approaches. I will also do two demonstrations a week for those interested in how I work just as I am interested in how you work. This will give you maximum time to paint. During that time when I am not in consultation I will be available for questions.
