Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this abstract painting class:

We will explore the issues central to abstract painting and the function of drawing in developing one’s own language. This class focuses on developing each artists passion for making abstract art through a range of activities, studying in particular how to explore one’s inspiration and ideas via the process and using a language specific to each artist to develop these ideas into coherent images. Artists are encouraged to work from the source material that is personal to them and to engage in a dialogue with contemporary exhibiting artists whose work is relevant to their own. It is anticipated that each artist will develop a deeper understanding of their own inclinations and the role they play in the creation of their artwork with the ultimate goal of developing a coherent body of work. 

The class is open to all levels.

School Notes:

Please note, New York School of the Arts charges a $50 one-time registration fee for students who are new to their school. This is automatically added to the cost of your enrollment (and already included in the price listed on this course). If you are a returning student to NYSA, please let us know and we will refund you $50.
