The Scribbled Soul

Di Patricia Baldwin Seggebruch

Cosa imparerai

In a world obsessed with legibility and 'perfect' art, Cy Twombly offers us a radical alternative: the beauty of the mark itself. Twombly didn't paint pictures of things; he painted the feeling of things—the energy of a myth, the heat of a summer day, or the messy vitality of a memory. This course invites you to move past the fear of the "meaningless" mark and into the profound power of your own unique artistic handwriting. We will explore how to take up space, how to let our emotions guide our hands, and how to find the bold intensity"that lives within abstraction.

Lezione 1

Introductory Session: The Handwriting Of The Soul

As we jump in to this course around the work of abstract expressionist artist Cy Twombly we begin with an introduction to asemic writing and the physicality of the mark. Get ready to jump into your soul's creative call!

Lezione 2

The Primitive Gesture

Moving from the wrist to the shoulder, we explore the asemic line. I like to think of this as the soul's mark making. A gesture, a touch, a voice on the page from a place unconscious, or nearly so, yet oh so fresh and alive.

Lezione 3

The Architecture Of Color

Using bold hues and the surrender of the drip we get into the heart of a soul expression. Color. Rich. Quiet. Gentle. Bold. All of it, a tool of response to your most inner voice and message. Grab up your paints and come along!

Lezione 4

Occupying The Vastness

Scale, presence, and the line of becoming. What does it mean to you, to paint large? Can you let your image of what can exist, exist in a vast, open, expansive space? Explore the possibilities of freeing yourself to explore!
