‘’Creative Iconography 2023-24’’

~ The academic year runs from October until the end of June, welcoming students at any time into the program ~

Professor Kordis suggests that all beginning painting students explore the on-demand virtual program to receive a solid and good foundation with appropriate skills to learn the Byzantine System of iconography: (https://iconographytoday.com/en/τμήμα-αρχαρίων/).

OPEN STUDIO

DRY EGG TEMPERA TECHNIQUES WITH UNDERPAINTING

Curated for all levels, Dr. George Kordis will be sharing his artistic process from his studio with techniques that you can apply to your own work. These sessions will offer lively discussions with technique and creativity within contemporary iconography and continue from month to month through various projects.

The classes are currently hosted through Zoom to best allow student interaction and close-up live video of the painting process and techniques.

After each lesson, a link will be made available with that week’s recorded lesson along with valuable screenshots.

Each session is independent and students can follow along in the next session even if missing the previous one. While live attendance is not mandatory, it is encouraged to maximize understanding with ease of questions and answers with the additional benefit of sharing real time and community with one another.

Students can follow along to practice skills independently throughout the month and receive progress feedback if they wish, but it is not expected. The class is ongoing throughout the academic year. Recordings will be sent after each session.

NOTE: It is suggested for students to pair the OPEN STUDIO course with the appropriate level DRAWING CLASS as a complement to form well-rounded learning and optimal artistic growth: https://iconographytoday.com/en/new-drawing-classes/
