2024 Agenda

11:00 | Panel Discussion: Architectural Drawing and its Influence on Artists

11:45 | Different perspective in painting Cityscapes 

The focus will be on the types of perspective used to convey a sense of space within the composition of a work, including linear perspective, one point perspective, two-point perspective, and atmospheric perspective. Here, we break down the key elements of each, and explore how they differ from each other. 

Artist: Amr Wadea - Architect and artist

15:00 | Panel Discussion: Traditional and Futuristic Arabic Calligraphy 

15:30 | Futuristic Arabic Calligraphy

Futuristic modern calligraphy is more free-form and allows for greater experimentation with style and design. One of the hallmarks of modern calligraphy is the use of new materials and tools, such as brush pens, markers, and even digital tools like tablets and styluses.

Artist: Sheikh Safi

11:00 | Panel Discussion: Different Movements in Art

11:45 | Abstract Impressionism 

Abstract Impressionism appeared as a branch of abstract painting in the second half of the 20th century. Abstract art is an illustration of objects, scenes, or concepts in an “unrecognizable form”. Impressionism as a way of imaging conveys emotions and visual impressions through a mosaic of sweeping, fluent strokes of pure shades. Artists interpreted this style as a reflection of the painter’s inner world, emotional state, while the art theorists described it as “emotionally subjective”. Logical analysis and intellectual perception do not allow us to catch certain concepts in pictures. The main idea is to convey the painter’s emotions and impressions with a brush and color. Abstract impressionism pictures are recognized as the meditative image of the painter’s soul.

15:00 | Different Tools used in painting

15:30 | Modern abstract landscape 

Abstract landscape paintings deliberately depart from reality, making them intriguing for both artists and viewers. Artists have the liberty to employ unconventional color schemes, amplify shapes, and use details and textures to convey a wide range of emotions and ideas.

Artist: Jivan Hovhannisyan
