The test
of the artist does not lie in the will with which he
goes to work, but in the excellence of the work he
produces. ~ St. Thomas Aquinas
|
|
“Practically all great artists accept the influence of
others. But . . . the artist with vision sees his
material, chooses, changes, and by integrating what he
has learned with his own experiences, finally molds
something distinctly personnel.” ~ Romare Howard Bearden

seminars in sharing quantities only, by DecoArt. For Chapters or

It is the responsibility of the students to bring the

The Class - My workshops
are 'Lecture and painting' based workshops where art theory
and art education
is the focus of the class. Lecture/painting workshops are
based on more in-depth studies of a particular subject with
emphasis placed on the principles of art. The topics
offered are accompanied by the theory and mechanics of the
lesson. As steps are delivered to the student, an
explanation of the reasoning behind the step is expanded on,
and developed through demonstration and open discussion with
the group. |
| Teaching Method -
Due to this method of teaching, when certain ‘designs’ are
offered as a group art ‘project’ – The goal is not to
‘finish’ the design in class time, however students will be
introduced to all the necessary skills that will enable them
to finish the study on their own. |
|
Class Size - I
occasionally limit the size of my classes for the benefit of
each student. Please discuss this prior to confirmation. Due
to the nature of these workshops, it is necessary that
students be afforded the opportunity to receive some hands
on instruction and individual assistance when needed.
(Larger classes sometimes do not allow for this style of
instruction and interaction between teacher and student) |
