Workshop participant Christina Chastain at work. Join us for an exciting and challenging introduction to abstract painting. The workshop focuses on two areas of concentration. The first focus is on the language of non-objective composition. Explore what art can say IN ADDITION TO OR APART FROM its traditional purposes of describing external appearances, telling literary narratives, and expressing specific and pre-determined emotions. Develop your understanding of what nonobjective compositions mean, and how and why they work. Shared challenges will guide you on your way. The second focus explores a variety of ways of abstracting from a visual reference. Whenever you work from the visible, you inevitably select, distill, arrange, and alter the visual forces you find at your disposal. Here, you'll look at a broad range of possibilities taken from art history and contemporary art. Then, a series of shared challenges will guide you on your exploration and enable you to find approaches that are satisfying to you. This workshop is neither media not technique specific, and no specific technical expertise is required. Features regular interactive discussion and critique. |
