When you visit a museum do you head straight for the Krasner? Mondrian? Rothko? Mitchell? Then this class is for you! I won’t teach you to mimic these artists, but what I will teach you is how to channel and express emotions through painting. The abstract landscape is a deliberate departure from reality whether you’re using a real one as a model or creating a new image from imagination, memory or emotional experience. It can be a serious cathartic expression, a dazzling burst of whimsical color or something from in between. Bring your painting medium of choice and comfort and let's see what these new places look like.

Students will be learning elements of abstract painting through exercises meant to tap into emotional experience.
