NEW SPRING SEMESTER CLASS STARTING FEBRUARY!
We offer this class as a special introduction to Drawing in the Byzantine system. We have a handful of new independent students who may wish to build a solid understanding of the language of the Byzantine system in iconography. This class is also good as a refresher course to simply reinforce the basics, and for those who are not ready to enter into Essential Drawing class with George Kordis.
This foundational course will follow weekly lessons in a variety of practical lessons to include:
Throughout the lessons, students will strengthen their overall drawing skills, learn familiarity with the Byzantine system, and gain their own readiness to begin to compose more complex subjects and small compositions, and work on practice. All lessons are delivered live in the Zoom class, unlike Kordis’s class which has pre-recorded lessons and the Live session is reserved for corrections and discussions as well as demonstration.
Students will submit their drawings online through email, with corrections and critique individually and privately via email with Maria Panou. The LIVE Zoom is for the live lessons – students usually can watch and practice a first attempt at home during the Live class, or simply watch and practice their assignments separately.
Time: TUESDAYS, 7:30 to 8:30pm (Athens, Greece) time = 12:30 to 1:30pm Eastern Standard (EST) in the US & Canada, every other week – meets 2x per month.
