Ryan Wurmser Figurative Intensive-Concept and Composition-New
Figure Painting
10 Day Figure Painting Workshop.
May 7-18th, 2012
Over the next two weeks the human figure will be our inspiration as we move through various Principles and Elements of DESIGN & COMPOSITION. Learning to see abstractly and conceptually, we will explore Compositional Structures and Modes of Presentation in order to arrive at something principled and artistically inspired. There will be one long pose (10 days) over two weeks. Art challenges our PERCEPTIONS. In this course I will introduce artistic possibilities, visually and conceptually. It all begins with the Painter as designer. DESIGN is the theory and strategy behind visual creation. CONCEPT is a product of the imaginative or inventive faculty of the mind. All concepts are abstractions. ABSTRACTIONS are imbedded in the reality of what we SEE. You must have a concept to have a strategy. This is why I am fond of saying that CONCEPT comes before COMPOSITION. COMPOSITION is the practice and implementation of organizational strategies that lead to a balanced and unified whole. The PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN are laws or basic truths. Recognizing and being able to manipulate these Principles, the painter becomes a SEER. Seeing is the perception of action. ACTION is the interplay of VISUAL ELEMENTS and PRINCIPLE is the glue. As we experiment with possibilities, wonderful insights begin to take hold.
