Dissolving the image.

Aim of the work:
Understanding and comparison of different forms and rules of organization the composition of the artistic drawing and its connection with the image, plot, expression and drawing media.
Work contents:
Students are asked to make analysis of a realistic artistic work, find the connection between its idea and the graphic and composition means used by author. Composition and graphic analysis is done by consequent exclusion from the drawing color, tone, minor details, textures etc. with the constant evaluation of its role in the composition and its influence to the representing the plot of the drawing. In the process of decomposition all elements of the drawing can be abstractized (must not be recognized as subjects of the plot) and the drawing itself can lose the logic of composition relations and connections. At the end the drawing should become a formal skeleton, constructive and graphical diagram with minimum of elements, reminding about the initial work.
At the last stage students are asked to create the formal composition, which will represent the specific of the emotional perception of the basic conflict of the drawing. The composition must be abstract and not have any associations with real objects.
Requirements:
1. The chosen drawing must have complicated content and must have conflict in plot.
2. The composition and graphic analysis must be done by stages, with using tracing paper for each step. At the each step students must write a paragraph describing relation between each graphical mean and the whole perception of the image.
