Go deep into the world of contemporary pattern design! Drawing from our extensive archive, including artist boxes in our collection, we’ll explore hand-drawn pattern design techniques, tools, and themes inspired by the works of past Artists-in-Residence. At the end of this six-part class, leave with a portfolio of pattern studies and paper prints documenting the evolution of your own designs.
Week 2: Geometric and Abstract Patterns
How do artists like Louise Nevelson and Richard Tuttle imbue meaning and emotion into their works using abstraction and geometry? With inspiration from these artists, we’ll use positive and negative space and printmaking techniques to create several black and white pattern studies.
