This class explores Color, Shape, Texture, Line, Design, Imagery, Energy and Tension in your paintings. Abstract art does not depict objects in the natural world, but instead uses color and form in a non-representational way. The abstract art we will explore will be non-representational art and should be a very personal expression of your ideas and concepts. Please bring any acrylic or watercolor supplies you may have to class, brushes, canvas and watercolor papers you may already have.
