4)Copying: explorations and improvisations
2-4.00pm Fridays Spring term 2008 (limited spaces)
For those students interested in exploring images they love by making copies of them.
“We are at out most original when copying the work of others” Pablo Picasso.
Why did some of the most radical artists spend so much time copying the work of others: Degas copied Mategna; Cezanne, Poussin and Picasso copied Velazquez amongst many others.

Classes will be working in the studio from reproductions and on location in the Fitzwillliam Museum.

Each session will be a mixture of practice and discussion about the aims and methods of copying. There will be references to the history and variety of copying over the centuries: academy, impressionists, modernists, postmodernists and conceptual artists.
Wqe look at how modernist concerns with originality and spontaneity sidelined this activity from art school syllabuses in the 20th century.

Spring- 10 sessions: January 10th- March 20th (not 14th Feb. h/term)
