Materials for this program

This course is an introduction to Vincent van Gogh's accomplishments in drawing, with particular attention to his unique and instantly recognizable touch. By looking deeply into his work, participants investigate how his imaginative mark making forms his images. In-class exercises revolve around drawing studies of his masterworks as examples to develop students’ own mark making and vocabulary of stroke, not necessarily to replicate his. A beginning drawing class or equivalent experience is strongly recommended, but not required, for this course.
