Value Organization taught by Monica Fogg

VIRTUAL CLASS

Work with the Three-Value System (white, grey, black) to strengthen composition. 

Dig deeper into using the Three-Value technique as a preparation tool as well as a way to augment almost-finished pieces. Artists have applied this for centuries to establish composition based on value relationships.

This two-session class includes exercises, discussion, and assessment of Value Organization.

“My personal work is informed and inspired by forms found in nature. I consider and experience the foundations of the earth as symbolic of the ‘grounding’ of spirit. Representation is distilled to form, movement, essence. The process is a dance between concept and emotion.”
