Abstract Photography - Nigel Wilson

Moved from 18th May.

Maximum 10 participants.

This on-line course will be looking at experimental and conceptual image makers and how you can apply some of their techniques to your own work.

There is a rich creative tradition of abstraction in photography and you will have the opportunity to examine and discuss in detail the work of practitioners of this fascinating genre, these include:

• Wolfgang Tillmans
• Cig Harvey
• Eric Meola
• Man Ray
• Valerie Belin
• Jocelyn Lee

Influenced by these great artists, you will then experiment with abstraction and create your own images which will then be reviewed in the class.

This workshop will be for 8 - 10 people only and will be the same as a face to face workshop, just from the comfort of your own home.  Don’t worry if you’re not familiar with working on-line the tutor will be there to guide you through each step.
