Class Description
Ages 16+ $40, $36 for ACWL Members By working from observation, students will experiment with different brush, color, and surface techniques that push a looser-of-level finish within the structure of traditional still life painting. We'll explore the conceptual role of abstraction within contemporary painting by looking at artists who utilize varying levels of articulation in their work, and students will leave with a painting made from observation. Class minimum: 4 Class maximum: 10 About the Instructor: Amelia Mendelsohn is an educator and artist based in Michigan, where she teaches courses in painting and drawing at Hope College.
