Work proposal:

The Albers project is mandatory for ApothekeS, and is conditional on remaining in a study group. In other words, it is not an invitation, but rather a call to study. Over the next two months, we will work on specific tasks that permeate the content of J. Albers' book in weekly meetings, and each participant will develop a final project with studies to be carried out outside of our weekly meeting. We encourage each participant to use the DAV studio on Monday afternoons, as well as the studio house in Lagoa. We will study the sequence of contents as indicated in the schedule: values, intensity and luminosity, gradation, inverted backgrounds, transparency, addition and subtraction, axes that start from J. Albers' book. We will also include the techniques that we have been developing so far, such as collage and monotype.

About the project themes: each participant is invited to create and think about color in their creative process, and it is possible to enter the introduction to the pictorial process. However, the project must have a beginning, middle and end. The works must be conditioned to a sequence that will encompass the final elaboration of a pictorial work (regardless of the language). To stimulate the beginning of the creative process, each participant will receive a kit with 25 square-shaped wooden pieces. The use of the kit may be appropriate for the final project or for studies in the sequence. Each participant must start from their own creative process and establish their poetics through color studies. The appropriation of language (monotype, collage, encaustic, cyanotype, anthotype, suminagashi, among others) is encouraged.

Second exercise: intensity + brightness (choose one or do both)

A - Test: look at the post-image. Tone B over tone A, the meeting point is C. After fixing your gaze, remove tone B. You will notice that the area C that was previously covered appears lighter for a few moments. It is confirmed that A is lighter than B, and vice versa. Do your tests and take notes.

Exercise: using cardboard and paint, work with folding, cutting or breaking to construct a study of light intensity and clarity.

******

B - Lightening or darkening a color: the darker the background on which we observe a certain color, the lighter it will appear. Or vice versa. Test in monotype, using three colors.

*printing can be done with a barem, wooden spoon and press.

List of materials for monotype: oil paint (preferably in red, yellow, blue, white and black), turpentine or other solvent, linseed oil, various brushes for oil paint, acrylic plate or glass plate (maximum size A5 or A4); barem or engraving roller or wooden spoon; paper of various weights (Japanese is the most suitable or preferably thinner, the heavier ones are recommended for printing on a press),
