Visual Narration

Time: Please see description for specific dates and times.
Location: Main Line Art Center
Instructor: Larry Francis
Price: $211 M/$224 NM (6 wks)
The arts from all ages have stories in visual form. The goal of this class will be to enable students to tell visual stories about the life and imagined life around them. Influenced from imagination, memory, family history, or retold from popular accounts, we will create scenes with two or more figures in a particular setting with props, lighting and mood. We will start by creating storyboards or cartoon sketches of our stories, and then learn to develop them more fully in the following classes. Students will be encouraged to both keep to their original intent, and allow for changes that may come from our study of the models. Historical examples of narrative works, especially studies and developmental sketches that show the growth in an artists' thought process towards developing a compelling image will be examined, including the works of Rembrandt, Gericault, Edward Hopper, Eric Fischl, and Paula Rego. Tuition includes model fee.
Mon., Feb. 6-March 19, 9:30 am-12:30 pm
6 wks (no class Feb. 20), $211 M/$224 NM
