JEREMY CANIGLIA PRESENTS: “Down the Line”
The lecture explores the long road of artists who have passed the torch of inspiration from the old masters to the present. The lecture takes an in-depth look at such artists as Caravaggio, Gerome, Eakins, and their influence on modern contemporary figurative painters in Omaha and around the World.
The paintings in this slide show explore artists who depict controversial, contemporary, and sometimes disturbing issues in a detailed figurative style passed down from the old masters.
Drawing in the tradition of the Atelier Method Presented by Jeremy Caniglia Artist, teacher and professional illustrator Jeremy Caniglia will give basic insight into methods and ideas for teaching the Atelier sight-size approach for drawing. Using Plaster Cast Statues he will show methods for sketching and drawing the human face and form. Cast drawing was the traditional way to learn the sight-size method in 19th century French art.
