Description

Have you ever stepped back from a picture and thought that there was something just not right, but you had no idea what? Or watched a piece of art being critiqued and tried to follow what the artist was thinking as they made comments?

The skill of being able to see and correct issues with your work is key to becoming a successful artist. Larry Downs will teach the students words and concepts to frame a personal analysis of your own, as well as others’, artwork. He will begin by analyzing his own work to give you an eye for spotting issues and a foundation to conceptualize and vocalize changes with a positive response.

The second lesson will have you putting those skills to work on your own pieces. Next will be a helpful discussion by the group of your work. And the last lesson will be a call to Guild members to bring in their work for our class to look over and suggest changes.
