In this contemporary approach to painting, you will experiment with drawing and painting techniques while being introduced to new ways of approaching subject matter. Fresh ideas, and the latest painting methods and materials will be explored. You will be encouraged to use experimentation and be spontaneous in the development of your own painting ideas. Plenty of photo references of contemporary and modern art will be provided to illustrate how composition, balance, colour, form and symbolism make abstract and modern art paintings into powerful art pieces. This class is a great introduction for the beginner painter or those who are new to abstract painting.
