Overview
In this Digital Studio session, students we will explore the creative possibilities of artificial lighting and how it can transform our approach to the human form.
From Caravaggio’s dramatic chiaroscuro to Lucas Samaras’ staged photographs and Euan Uglow’s night-time paintings, we’ll consider how artists have used lighting in bold and inventive ways to illuminate and reimagine the figure. Working with coloured spotlights and an elaborate set, we’ll experiment with contrasting tones and observe how they affect the body, shifting mood, depth and perspective. All levels welcome.
Each Digital Studio session makes use of the School's multi-camera digital studio to create drawing-from-observation opportunities that are only possible online. Tutors offer guidance throughout to help students approach different poses and get the most out of each session.
Please note: online models will not pose nude. Models in this series will be semi-clothed.
