At the time, this avant garde practice brought to life some of the greatest works of art and histories most cherished paintings. The act of Plein Air painting is a physical one, it challenges and invigorates any painters practice, resulting in a fine tuned eye, better skilled hands and a deeper awareness of space. The painter, immersed in nature must shift the painting process, in a situation where the subject is no longer fixed, the painter must bend, making the divide between eye and object clear. It is a fascinating process with results unlike any other artistic practice. It brings a single moment into focus with such clarity that one's relationship to time shifts. Portfolio required at end.

The aim of the course is to explore the relation between the creative process in art and the makeshift nature of seemingly orderly things, their precariousness and fragility. All media are welcome with emphasis on drawing, sculpture, installation, and photography. Field trips and films will also play an important role in this course.
