In this course, we will explore the principles necessary to create visually compelling original artwork involving multiple figures in motion. Taking inspiration from the breathtaking drama and monumental scope of the Counter-Reformation masters, the curriculum will break down the steps involved in producing these time-tested masterpieces of Western Christian culture and equip students to tackle similar projects for contemporary contexts with confidence and sophistication.Engaging presentations on art history and theory will alternate with guided practica focused on applying the principles discussed to the students’ own concept sketches and compositional drawings. Along the way, the instructors will provide illustrations of how these same principles were brought to bear in real-life examples from their own professional work.
This week-long workshop begins with check-in at 4:30 PM on Sunday night. Dinner is served at 5:30 PM for students and instructors. Dinner is followed by a workshop introduction and conference which ends at 9:00 PM. Students are welcome to attend daily Mass at 9 AM. Hands-on instruction begins Monday morning after Mass. The entire workshop ends Friday at 1 PM.
