“If I could say it in words there would be no reason to paint.” Edward Hopper
This class is designed to accommodate intermediate students (beginners are always welcome). This class provides and an opportunity to sharpen basic skills while furthering student’s conceptual knowledge and experience with materials. Students will be encouraged to experiment with new painting surfaces and to expand their palette. Relevant artists will be discussed in relationship to students’ work.
Casual group critiques will be scheduled during the semester, as they are important to both personal growth and to fostering a creative community within our class! Additionally there will likely be an opportunity for students to show work in an SAA spring painting show in the weisner gallery.
Note: It is recommended to first take the intro classes, but this class can be tailored for a beginner student if needed! Please email Nicole for more details.
