ANDAMENTO LEVEL 2
online
level 2: DYNAMIC ANDAMENTO
Opus and Andamento are the building blocks of mosaic. They can be described as the language, the tone of voice, and the tempo. Understanding the origins and structure of the Mosaic Opera is key to developing your own style.
Once you have come to know and understand the basic Opera (styles of Andamento covered in LEVEL 1) it's time to start to express more with your tesserae. The Andamento Level 2 Class shows you some structured ways to introduce sdoppiamento (line splitting), accentuate curves, direction and flow, to flair and scale your tesserae, and to create volume and contour in your mosaics.
.
These classes are held at a suitable time for students in Australia, New Zealand the Pacific, the USA & Canada.

I'm in New Zealand and enrolled in Caitlin's All About Andamento Level 1 and 2 online classes last year.
I was so happy that these were offered via Zoom as I wouldn't have been able to attend otherwise..
The classes are fantastic and being in a different country is no barrier at all. Caitlin has a wonderful studio setup; you can see everything she demonstrates clearly and this is backed up with emailed .PDFs with examples. If you are contemplating enrolling just do it, you won't be disappointed. Sharon Pine NZ.
'Caitlin's Andamento classes were so valuable in taking my mosaic practice to the next level. Caitlin's knowledge of mosaics is extensive, and being taught about the history of mosaics alongside examples of the various opus we were working on each week was inspirational. Drawing is not easy for me, but Caitlin guided us step by step through exercises which have given me a set of skills I can now use for future mosaic projects. I enjoyed creating samples each week that I am able to refer to when I am working on projects. Although I enjoy face to face learning, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed online classes. I was able to get more work completed online because students learn techniques together as a group, and we are able to watch Caitlin draw, cut and place materials as we work "alongside" her. I also enjoy being able to connect with students who I would not normally have the chance to interact with due to distance.'
