Have you ever thought, in view of a photo: Where can you find such motifs? Would you like to expand your photographic skills and open up new worlds of images? Then this course is a magical and efficient way to do just that.
CONTENTS
We see what we know and believe. In this course we expand our existing way of seeing things. We go on the traces of a personal "motive bell".
In this course the theme is "Colour beyond form". Let yourself be touched by colours, find colours where they were apparently not before... Detaching the color effect from the objects that carry the colors... Colour as a vehicle for emotional qualities...
We train our perception with background knowledge and above all with many exercises that concentrate on colour perception. The workshop teaches you easy-to-use instruments to work independently on your personal colour perception. Your pictures will then not only use color as an attribute of a surface, but also give the color its own weight.
COURSE STRUCTURE
- Introduction to the methods of The Good Eye visual school. Observations on the subject of perception, mental image and transformation of mental images into a personal visual language. Applied image analysis as an instrument for reflection on (own and foreign) images and creative, simple and effective exercises for new perspectives.
- Colours beyond form. Experience colours without being hindered by forms. Immerse yourself in an undreamt-of intensity of the moment.
- Liberation from rigid concepts. To encounter the essence of things more freely. Learn how thinking concepts can hinder a primary experience and find ways to free us from it.
- Opening the channels of perception. Using the example of the visual sense, we practice improving perception. We make direct experiences with the richness that banality and everyday life offer and implement this in our pictures.
We work on and enjoy the topic in an alternation of short introductions, guided exercises and free photography. Thanks to small groups we have enough time for personal exchange and individual questions. Discussion of the pictures as required.
