The Still Life Concepts classes alternate between guest lectures by renowned still life artists, and hands-on experimentation in the studio. Classes will engage critically with still-life concepts such as vanitas and memento mori. In the studio, students can expect to explore a variety of studio lighting methods, styles, and techniques such as Speedlite, strobe and continuous lighting. Students can also expect to learn how to use scanography as a method of image making, and practice sculpting their objects through macro/ tabletop shooting.
