Materials for this program

This course examines fundamental concepts of composition and their practical application in studio-art practice, offering participants tools to enrich their work as well as analyze and appreciate visual art in general.

The sessions include a visual presentation, discussion, and hands-on exercises to help participants gain a finer appreciation for compositional aspects such as structure and balance, positive and negative space, contrast, and color. Participants create collages based on artworks and themes discussed while exploring connections between the formal elements of visual art in combination with the emotional impact of works of art as a whole.

This is a companion class to Composition Studies in the Museum scheduled on Monday, October 28 at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, DC.
