ART.4088 Studio Practices in Abstract Art
This course is designed to expand the students' knowledge of techniques in creating original works of art. It will address direct observation and the departure from it into non-representational, idea-driven art as a tool for investigating the creative process. The course will emphasize the role of the natural environment and its impact on visual literacy. We will investigate the principles of design and the elements of art as a universal language. We will also include parallels in geometry, music and science as contemporary forms of aesthetic documentation. Individual perceptions based on personal experiences will be meticulously addressed.
