ALBERS PROJECT

Reference for color studies:

ALBERS, Josef. The interaction of color. SP: Martins Fontes, 2009.

Visit: http://www.albersfoundation.org

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.

Exercise: Mixing colors on paper - illusion of transparency (pages 31 - 33).
