A still in scale

How is a still constructed? What should be taken into account while altering the scale of an image?  The projection of a still from a Sergei Eisenstein film on a wall inside Garage workshop room will be divided into many parts so that every participant of the session can work on their own piece of the still, while also getting acquainted with frottage and hatching techniques. In the end we will combine all the fragments to create a collective version of the still.

Single-color picture

During the Single-color picture workshop we will study the basics of color intensiveness and ways to picture the textures.  We will learn to convey textures and express details by applying shading of different intensiveness, as well as to capture light and dark nuances.

Animation

Let’s create our own animation story! In this class we will learn about the specific features of perceiving a moving image, as well as about the history of animation. We will train our eyes to better feel the change in movement from still to still, while putting photographer Eadweard Muybridge’s mixed up images in their right order.

NSK. Passport from a fictitious state: inventing the laws

What fictitious states exist today? What about yours? Will your government have laws? If yes, which ones? Will your citizens have to carry passports and what information should be mentioned in them? We will discuss these questions and create passports for our own fictitious states.

REGISTRATION

Directly within the space of Proof exhibition project we will organize a sketching workshop. Inspired by works by Robert Longo, Sergei Eisenstein, and Francisco Goya, participants will learn to feel the line and textures.

Estamp

A workshop from the series of sessions based on the Proof exhibition is dedicated to one of the stages in development of black-and-white image and the comprehension of Francisco Goya’s graphic technique. We will get acquainted with the concept of the “estamp” printing technique and will try to make our personal ornamental print, from many copies can be reprinted.

Charcoal drawing

Charcoal is one of the ancient and most primitive natural art materials which has a surprisingly expressive potential.  During the session we will study its characteristics, make handprints using the technique of retouching, and even create abstract drawings.

NSK. Flag of a fictitious state

During the workshop based on NSK: FROM KAPITAL TO CAPITAL exhibition participants will invent and design flags of their fictitious states. What will these countries look like? Who are their citizens? What are they doing? Where are these countries situated and what kind of weather is there? Giving answers to these and other questions about what is characteristic about a state, we will distinguish the key symbols for flags and choose their colors and design.

Frottage

Soft pencil is a means of artistic expression with a large potential. Even when colorless, a drawing can be diversified by picturing textures with the help of the frottage technique. Following the example of avant-garde artist Max Ernst, we will create paintings by making prints with various textures.        

Collography

The word “collography” is close to the word “collage” because the process of creating an artwork in these two techniques is similar. The process requires various materials—cardboard, paper, cloth—which are glued to solid cardboard and covered with a thick layer of ink. When everything has dried, the ink can be partly removed by the artist, after which the collage is covered by a sheet of paper, and the work is put under a press—thus we create an image.

Shades of white

How many expressive features are characteristic of a black-and-white image? White color allows the creation of volume, picturing light and shadow in an effective manner, and presenting various points of view. During the session we will get acquainted with Robert Longo’s works, displayed at Proof exhibition, and we will try to create a spatial model using simple everyday materials painted in white.

NSK. Map of a fictitious state

Based on the concept of NSK: FROM KAPITAL TO CAPITAL exhibition we will create our personal fictitious country. What name will it be given? How big will it be? What landscape will it have? What do its settlements look like, and, more importantly, who lives there? Giving answers to all these questions, we will create maps of our fictitious states, whether it is Marmeland, Chocoland etc. This workshop is aimed at comprehending governmental structure, as well as at developing spatial and abstract imagination.
