Jill will discuss concepts and techniques aimed to resolve and strengthen motifs and improve design, from initial ‘thought boards’ to actual planning methods. She will illustrate how unity and variety are used to create overall harmony. The class will explore the aesthetic principles of motif, notan, shape, value and color management, and the use of grids or armatures to divide up the canvas space and help with placement. She will discuss the science of how we see and how we can control eye movement. Jill will structure the workshop through set exercises, lectures, demos, and brainstorming discussions. Students will be working from their own visual material as well as that provided. www.jillcarver.com
