ABSTRACT ART:

Did you ever wonder how to plan and create an abstract painting? Take an adventure into techniques of abstraction in this course. Although in recent years abstraction has also come to mean “non-representational”, this course emphasizes techniques for deriving an abstract design based on the reshaping of the natural world and including recognizable images.
We will begin with images from the world around us and alter them by means of a variety of recognized techniques for composing abstract art. During our first session we will investigate the techniques to be used and begin to plan our paintings. During our second session we will work in the classroom to complete our finished abstract paintings.
Students may work in watercolor or acrylic paint. However, beginning students might find watercolor the easiest.
Experienced artists who wish to work in other media should contact Jane Taylor at artteacher@hawaii.rr.com to discuss possibilities.
