Hi Guys! My name is John Silva and I like to paint and teach.
Here's my website: www.johnsilvaart.tk , FB: https://www.facebook.com/john.silva.3511 and Twitter: https://twitter.com/JohnSilvaArt
This class will be all about fundamentals but mainly with a strong focus on Studies.
That's the number 1 thing all of us get asked about... How do you study? How do you apply studies? What do you think when studying? How do you Analise the study? Why do you study? and so on and so forth... To put it simply, studying and fundamentals are what make you able to pull out crap from your imagination without the need to peek at reference... Granted there is no "Right or Wrong" way to study, but I strongly believe there's a "Faster and Slower" way to grow faster through studies.
-Class name: Hungry for art
-Willing to take 3 students at the time
-1-2 months class, 1 meeting per week for about 2-3 hours.
-Starting at:?? (still deciding exactly when to start, check back for update on this or propose a date.)
-Classes to include homework assignments, in depth paint-over and critique, discussion and analysis of work as it develops.
Class 1 - Introduction to studies.
-What is a study and what is its purpose?
-How to apply different effective ways to study?
-How to pick the right reference?
-Analyzing edges.
-Portfolio illustration Art description assignment.
Class 2 - Dissecting References.
- Analyzing the forms.
- Analyzing Light with a super slow motion camera. (really cool believe me)
- Analyzing color.
- Critics/paint-overs on the portfolio wips.
- Study Assignments.
Class 3 - Memory.
- Techniques of visual memorization.
- Discussing repetition.
- Critics/paint-overs on the portfolio wips.
- Study and fundamental Assignments.
Final Class 4 - Portfolio Revision.
- Reviewing what was learned.
- Using reference for details.
- Final Critiques/Paint-overs.
- Pancake party!
How will you pick your students?
(With a dice) I'll be picking one random beginner, one random intermediate and one random advanced, because I don't want to leave out anyone due to its level, so I'm taking from all levels/
When will you choose the students?
I'll keep positions open until the 12th of October and on the same day I'll announce who got picked.
If I'll be picked, how are we gonna communicate?
Through Skype. If you don't have a Skype account then you'll have to make one, also try to get a microphone if you don't have any, it'd make my life a lot easier.
BEWARE: I'll kick people out if someone shows no interest or fail to accomplish the assignments and homework.
To apply please leave your portfolio here and it'd be cool to write something about yourself as well!
Stay cool :D
