Class Details
Abstraction has been a persistent and defining visual idea of the twentieth and twenty-first century. This workshop for intermediate and advanced drawing, painting and sculpture students will investigate the principles of abstract design as well as some of the artists that helped to develop the genre. Among the concepts to be explored are cubism, field composition, and gestural painting. Students will work from a variety of sources, including the human body, still life, and found photography. Although the majority of assignments are in drawing and painting, the final multi-week independent project may be realized in multi-media.
