Host: Lika Chekalova
My workshops focus on different methods of development of visual thinking and converting feelings, impressions, dreams and other irrational sides of personality into ideas and meanings ready-to-use in research and project work. This workshop is to explore and analyze possibilities and power of visual language as an instrument. First, we briefly study the basics of image composition which lead the idea to be expressed. Thus, we define the instruments of visual language. Then we take a sheet of paper and everything what is in front of our eyes and hands (paper, tape, office stationery, or sand and plants from beneath our feet – whatever) and create an abstract image based only on the composition principles to investigate if form can speak for itself.
