Dynamic Composition
A
two or three day workshop with Denis Brown
Intermediate
to Advanced level
NOTE:
this module is included in the 5 day class Rhythm & Eurhythmics
Calligraphic
layouts often merely fill space, but we will explore how compositionally
active spaces can be created by dividing the picture plane with lines
of writing. Exercises in rhythmic repetition & paraphrasing
of calligraphic elements will lead to the development of works from
thumbnail sketches to dynamic compositions.
STUDENT SUPPLIES:
Normal kit of
dip-pens: Brause size 1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm & 5mm particularly suggested
in addition to students own preferred brand; plus a range of any other
writing tools you use (brushes, ruling pens, droppers, etc); ink, gouache
