This class is for all levels from beginner through advanced painters. We will be looking at things in a different way in this class. Making use of the fundamental principles of design such as line, shape, space, texture, repetition, value, color, and emphasis are used in constructing a new creation. The class will focus on taking a realistic painting and changing it into an abstract rendering. Think about simplification, geometric shapes, exaggeration, asymmetrical forms and mark making that transforms realism to abstraction. Acrylic paint will be the basis for our work along with stencils, stamps, pen and ink, collage and other mixed media processes. Bring any supplies you have on hand and a supply list will be emailed to you upon registration.
