LAAFA Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Art
This lecture looks at composition in a completely new way, beginning with what we know about how we look at pictures from current eye tracking data. We then look at storytelling and how that influences design decisions, and we concentrate a lot on tonal organization, one of the most important elements in good composition.
The workshop will also include a "Q&A"discussion, a demo of various composition sketching and observation sketching techniques. Book-signing to follow.
Tuition: $75. Open to all levels.

ReplyDeleteI like your Shrunkenheadman shirt! Please come back
ReplyDeletePlease remind me what that t-shirt is that you're wearing. It's a school logo, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteErik, The Shrunkenheadman Club is a wonderful student-run art organization at San Jose State University in northern California.
ReplyDeleteThey helped raise funds for me to come as a speaker, as the government funds practically dried up for artist visits. I believe they also arrange figure sketching groups and outings.
Hi James. I've been enjoying your articles on Gamut masking, and tonight I stumbled across this item on Richard Robinson's website http://www.livepaintinglessons.com/gamutmask.php - I thought you might find it interesting.
ReplyDeleteHey James!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing you tonight at LAAFA. Welcome back to sunny Southern California.
