374B - Introduction to Abstract Painting
Adult Class | Available
Have you ever wondered what Abstract Painting is all about? Would you like to paint with more freedom and feeling? Even if you don’t intend to be an abstract painter, you may discover this class to be exciting and even an eye-opener.
Abstract art uses a visual language of shape, form, color, and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world.
You will learn to develop your own way of applying paint and to compose your unique visual space.
