Pictorial Space, Form, and Color
October 27, 2018 |
Painting, like architecture and music, is best appreciated by those who have trained their minds and senses to perceive the workings of form. This class offers such training to anyone who practices visual art or simply wants to enjoy more thoroughly the process of looking. Our slide lectures, analyses, and discussions will investigate geometrical as well as organic elements and relations in European paintings of the 15th through 19th centuries, while making comparisons with masterpieces from various other cultures and periods to point out the universality of key concepts.
Students will bring notepads or sketchbooks in which to jot down terms and sketch diagrams. By the end of the class they will be able to see more in great works of art, and to talk about their perceptions.
James Patrick Reid is a painter and scholar who has taught at Union College, the New York Academy of Art, and the Art Students League, and is currently on the faculty of the Fashion Institute of Technology. His writings have appeared in various publications, including the American Arts Quarterly and the Saint Austin Review.
