Description

All levels

This class will explore various degrees of Abstraction in art such as stylization, simplification, exaggeration, distortion, and non-objectivism. We will experiment with ways to apply those ideas to your own painting. Use your own choice of medium*.

Suitable for all levels.

Bring the listed materials to the first class.
