Sketch It On: Miami. Workshop 1

WORKSHOP M1

How to set a point of view
Location: Lincoln Road

March 27-29

Workshop description:

One of the biggest challenges in a sketch is the drawing's composition. The balance and harmony between shapes and objects are vital.

To achieve the harmonious composition we are looking for we need to know to establish interesting points of views.

The essence of the composition is that all parties should be in a particular place or position and play the role that corresponds favoring them all.

It is almost impossible to prescribe specific rules that allow someone to compose. However, there are simple laws that guide available for an artist manages to be able to create an interesting composition

We will develop the basics to create engaging and thoughtful compositions, starting with thumbnail type schemes. (Frame-work-­figure­-ground, composition and management, framing from the point of view, background vs foreground, an unusual point of view)
