THE HEAD EXAMINED THROUGH TIME
WITH CATHERINE KEHOE
June 15-19, 2020
Monday-Friday
10 a.m.-4 p.m. each day. (Eastern US time)
ONLINE COURSE: Portraits from art history will be the point of departure for study of pictorial structure and invention, with a focus on the head. We will work from reproductions of portraits from art history. You may work from postcards, photocopies from books, or images on your devices (tablet or laptop). We will touch upon the universal proportions of the head. Mediums will include graphite, charcoal, collage, gouache, acrylic and/or oil paint or materials you have on hand. Each participant will look deeply at one or two images and generate permutations through exercises that lead to simplification and abstraction. This rigorous and wide-ranging analysis of images from our painting ancestors will feed our own work and imaginations as we engage with images that speak to us still.
Daily schedule: 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
(Eastern US time)
Image presentation: 10-11 a.m.
(Eastern US time)
