    1 ARTS1175 Drawing from the Venetian Masters 2016 by Stoney

    ARTS1175 Drawing from the Venetian Masters 2016 By Stoney Conley May 29 to June 26th, 2016 In this class students connect to the visual arts tradition by visually internalizing it through drawing. Drawing forces one to slowly observe each aspect of the master picture: underlying narrative, the formal organization, and structure of the image. One distills the organization into a drawing that reveals the underlying composition. Drawing from a master forces one to understand the visual language used to construct the image, how the dark and light forms are organized, the arrangement and use of color, the role of light and space. Each drawing is a problem to solve. Which quality of the original does one want to keep as a reminder of the primary experience? Students will strive to ensnare a sense of the whole picture with a few lines, or simplified forms, to distill the organization of a masterwork into a small sketch. This introductory level Fine Arts Studio course will introduce students to the process, materials, and issues addressed in exploration of the basic principles and concepts of making visual artworks. The class assignments will examine historical approaches, concepts, techniques and skills involved through drawing assignments. Drawing is a crucial companion to seeing, an opportunity for the student to train their vision, and is the fundamental skill, the beginning of an understanding of the language of visual art. Classes will introduce basic drawing skills and then we will apply them by drawing from masterworks. The course emphasis therefore is twofold: first, the command of basic formal concepts and skills: the page, how mark, shape, value, scale, and composition interact to become a visual language, and secondly, an introduction to the great masterworks of Venice.

La tavola è stata sottoposta a diversi restauri, quelli documentati sono gli ultimi due: Vienna 1910 e Zagabria 2005. Il dipinto ha subito tagli su entrambi i lati ed è stato esposto ad almeno tre mostre. Infine, attraverso un disegno verrà proposta un’ipotesi delle originali fat- tezze del dipinto. Abstract: In this essay, the author deals with a tempera and oil painting on panel by Alvise Vi- viani depicting Saint Sebastian and Saints, placed in the parish office of the city of Cherso (Cres). The panel has undergone several restorations, of which only the last two are docu- mented: Wien 1910 and Zagreb 2005. The painting has suffered cuts on both sides and has been exposed to at least three exhibitions. Finally, through a drawing, a hypothesis of the original features of the painting will be proposed.
