In this workshop you will explore the world around you to discover ideas leading to concepts of abstraction. You will locate and document a vast collection of existing abstract surfaces, patterns, colours, stains, architectural features, marks, texts, signs, symbols, gestures, and grids. You will investigate natural and urban sites and use photography, drawing, frottage (textural rubbings) and painting to record and research stimuli and materials that you will reinterpret into mixed media, paintings, drawings, prints, objects, photo works or installations. Consultation with lecturer will lead to individual projects, and resolved works based on your visual research. You will explore ideas of abstraction and processes with a focus on chance, composition, balance, matter, colour, surface, and materiality. Intensive studio experimentation will be encouraged, group tutorials and student presentations will be essential to the development of the research undertaken by you in this workshop.
