‘Conscious Design’ Class Outline @SALI, Greenwood IN
Wednesdays 1-3pm Oct 24th- Nov 28th 6 weeks: $50 Instructor -Roy Boswell is an American Impressionist artist, who creates, teaches, and helps others bring their visions to life. He aims to decorate the man made environment with beauty, point out the truth, and create a place of reflection. – Conscious Design In this class we will explore the elements of design and how to incorporate them into your art in a conscious manner. We will look at Shape, value, line, mass, temperature, color, balance, and contrast in all its forms of design. Goals During the six weeks we will formulate initial ideas, work through the stages of design, and build up a painting/s through that process. Course Structure This class will meet weekly. The first half of the class will start with a presentation of the idea we will be covering, followed by a demo of the concept. We will then break and students will apply the ideas on their own work. Students will receive feedback, guidance, and critique as they work, from the instructor. Students will be given assignments to work on for next week’s class and to crystalize the previous week’s concepts. Course Description This course will push students past their initial idea and bring them into the realm of conscious choice in designing their work. Students can use this process for any type of art they wish to create but instructors demos will be in representational form (i.e. paintings of things in the objective world). Each week will build upon the previous week. The process we cover in class will give students the tools to create better designed and more aesthetically pleasing pieces of art. Assignments Students are expected to work on their assignments between classes. If a student can’t make a class, please email the instructor to receive current week’s assignment. They may also bring previous work to class to receive feedback. The instructor will do their best to move between students to make sure each student gets their share of guidance. Please be respectful of other student’s time. Materials Any medium the student is comfortable with using is acceptable. The course will focus upon the design aspect of painting which is translatable across all mediums. Instructor will be using Oil paints for demonstrations. If students have any questions regarding instructors materials please email them at royboswellart@gmail.com *please bring reference materials (multiple pictures of the same motif, sketches or anything else the student would use to create paintings) for the first day of class. |
