Online Andamento Drawing with Sue Giannotti
The ability to draw “andamento” – the visual flow and direction of the lines of tesserae, as well as choosing the corresponding tesserae shapes and style is a key component in creating a better mosaic. This valuable course covers the foundational rules of the language of mosaic and takes a historical look at how different tesserae shapes and interactions have been used to obtain various visual effects. This class is the online alternative to our 2-day in-person class. In this online format, in order to maximize information and minimize zoom-fatigue, we will have a combination of online class lectures as well as “off-screen” time in which students complete a variety of exercises to reinforce the techniques covered. Students should allow time in their schedule for offline homework each evening.
To best re-create the in-person quality of education, students will receive individualized in-depth feedback on their exercise work to allow them further opportunity for growth, as well as receive an optional one-on-one consultation on the final day.
Enrolling students should have reliable internet access, webcam/microphone, skills to email photos to the instructor, ability to print feedback material during class, and a few art/office supplies –list supplied upon enrollment.
