SUMMARY:PAINTING THROUGH MODERN MASTERS: Cezanne and Cubism\, online
DESCRIPTION: “How do I move from a more skill-based mode of painting into a more personal\, stronger\, and exploratory way of working?”\n  \n\nThis LIVE Eight Week online course is designed to give participants access to different ways of painting\, moving from a more naturalistic and objective tradition to the more Modern and subjective ways of working found in the twentieth century avant-garde.\n  \n\nLooking closely at various Modern Masters\, Jordan will be demonstrating how to work with a variety of exercises based on these painters’ explorations and inventions\, such as:\n  \n\n\ncompositional improvisation and discovery\nwarm and cool color to create space\nsubjective experience taking precedent over objective knowledge\nthe painted mark as a unit of personal “world building”\n\n\n  \nWe will start by working with Cezanne and then move on to Picasso and Braque and the inventions of Analytic Cubism.\n  \n\n\nHow did Cezanne “change the game” of painting?\nWhat is the primacy of the rectangle of the canvas and why is it important?\nHow does formal experimentation affect our paths as painters?\n\n\n\n \nWEEKLY SESSIONS:\nWeek 1: A Power Point presentation of Cezanne’s work\, discussing the nature of his project\, both in relation to his internal experience\, as well as through the external formal invention\, covering the role of rigorous perceptual investigation\, the precedence of experience over knowledge\, his mark as unit of image structure\, and the radical role of compositional improvisation in relation to the rectangle. The Power Point presentation will be followed by a demonstration of Cezanne’s methodology through a graphite drawing of a still life. A LIVE ongoing Q&A will accompany each session.\nWeek 2: Beginning a still life painting in the modality of Cezanne. The sessions will be streamed through 3 cameras focusing on the development on the canvas\, color mixing on the palette\, and an over-the-shoulder view of the mark making.\nWeek 3: Continuing the still life painting and deepening the discussion about perception\, composition and marking. What does it entail to return to a painting that is mid-stride but the paint is dry? How does one continue to mark in an open and fresh way? Also\, how does one attend to the demands of the objective motif and also the accruing complexity and demands of the developing composition?\nWeek 4: Further developing the painting in the mode of Cezanne. Looking at the implications for us now in relation to our own personal paths as painters and in relation to painting in the 21st century.\nWeek 5: Power Point presentation of the development of Analytic Cubism by Picasso and Braque\, discussing the nature of their exploration and the specific formal devices involved\, such as a limited palette\, short staccato marking and edge quality. Followed by a drawing demonstration in charcoal of a still life developed through the lens of Analytic Cubism.\nWeek 6: Beginning a still life painting in the mode of Analytic Cubism. Discussing the mode of depiction that is relying on invention more than on observation of the motif. Looking at why Cubism was such a radical development and how it affected 20th century painting.\nWeek 7: Continuing the development of the Analytic Cubist painting and exploring the developing compositional demands within the parameters of the Cubist project.\nWeek 8: Further developing the still life painting and discussing the possibilities and ramifications for the students in relation to their own work. \nA MIGHTY NETWORKS page will be provided for posting our work\, for supportive community and creative sharing. There will be a weekly review of student postings on the page. Click HERE.\n  \nAll sessions will be streamed in HIGH DEFINITION\, providing greatly increased visual acuity of the painted surface and demonstrations.  \nAll sessions will be recorded\, archived and available for repeated viewing. \nA Webinar Link will be sent out upon registration. \nTo register simply click on the “+” sign below.

SUMMARY:FOUNDATIONS\, Morning\, in-studio
DESCRIPTION:This in-studio\, ongoing\, 8-week course is designed to give people the fundamental tools and skills to draw and oil paint from life. Working from still life\, we will learn how to translate what we see into convincing and successful renditions. We’ll start with basic drawing skills\, developing proportion\, shading and color. Working step-by-step we’ll develop a thorough understanding of oil paint and how to use it. As our mastery develops\, spontaneous play becomes part of our repertoire. \nThe course is structured as an opportunity for ongoing skill development\, allowing each participant to work and develop at their own pace and rhythm.   \nOne-on-one attention is given in a supportive and creative atmosphere. \nTo register\, simply click on the “+” sign below.
