Intro to Abstract Painting: Music (1)

Using non-traditional tools to interpret music, students will learn to paint with palette knives rather than brushes. In this two-session class, students will develop an understanding of texture, color, and shapes. In the first class, mark-making techniques will be explored while listening to various diverse samples of music. In the second class, students will create a finished painting inspired by a piece of music of their choosing.

Class minimum: 4

Class maximum: 10
