The word figurative in the title of the class acts like a pin in a map, it gives a starting location to look outwards from. The focus of study advocates for experimental associations, speculative inquires, and re-invention of the figure with the goal of expanding painting by exploring possible utilisation of the figure in contemporary art making. As with the openness of what figurative can be, mean and manifest, these inquiries also apply to an expansive investigation of form alongside subject.
