Ages 18+    Join us for a process-based class exploring abstraction through improvisational drawing. This class is perfect for both beginning and more advanced students. Class will begin with a refresher of the formal elements of art and design such as color, line, shape, texture and composition. Students will be guided through a series of group and individualized prompts focused on abstraction. Students will leave the class with a series of experiments and directions to build upon in their own creative practice. Creativity, material exploration and the art-making process will be the emphasis of this course.
