For her, both music and the visual arts offer the same challenges, and create a similar response; even the vocabulary is the same \u2013 colour, tone, form, composition and so on. Her passion and dedication for this was infectious, and the images she showed inspired some really lively discussion. Possessing an instinct for recognizing the often rather serendipitous eye of the camera, Jane revealed just how many works of art can be coaxed out of what at first sight can appear to be a very limited environment. All the artist needs is eyes that can see.<\/p>\n<p><span>                    David Corballis                <\/span>&#8230;<span>                        Dunedin Art Society Review (Abridged)                    <\/span><\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">&#8216;The Art of Creating a Triptych&#8217;<\/span><\/h1>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In \u2018The Art of Creating a Triptych\u2019, I focus exclusively on my abstract triptychs, revealing my design concepts, creative processes and in-depth aspects of their construction.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"7499\" title=\"The Art of Creating a Triptych with border\" src=\"https:\/\/abstractedreality.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/The-Art-of-Creating-a-Triptych-with-border-jpg.webp\" style=\"\" ml-d=\"-676\" ml-m=\"0\" data-width=\"700\" data-init-width=\"700\" data-init-height=\"434\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"434\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Over the course of the hour, I canvas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"\"><span>A brief history of the triptych<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span>The broad categories which most triptychs will fall into<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span>\u201cThe whole is greater than the sum of its parts\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span>Options for construction<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span>What makes a good triptych?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span>The triptych \u2018cut\u2019<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span>Deciding where to crop your triptych<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span>Getting creative and tips for starting out<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Hooked from Start to Finish<\/h4>\n<p>Jane is a gifted speaker and presenter who is easy to understand and keeps the viewer hooked from start to finish.
