Explore the basis of abstraction by studying color, line, and shape as they relate to composition. Learn to create exciting and innovative works of art using a series of drawing, painting, and collage exercises designed to examine nontraditional ways of handling traditional materials and subject matter. Students are introduced to materials ranging from charcoal and ink, to pastel and acrylic. 

This is a process-oriented class with an emphasis on finding a more intuitive way of working. Each week, lessons will be structured around the examination of the work of a different contemporary artist. Individual critiques and discussions contribute to the process.
