Beginning by observing a still life, students will delve into personal explorations, abstracting from life in service of relational, complete images. The focus will be on the process rather than the product, allowing discoveries along the way. Balancing observation and invention, formal elements will be addressed through individual attention, as well as group critiques. By focusing our attention on creating or dissolving form, and taking responsibility for the rectangle (among other formal concerns), we will marry perception with expressive success. Demos will be done in watercolor, but all painting media are welcome.
