Code D1226-25
This advanced painting workshop is for students working in any painting medium, and is designed to be a catalyst for making art within a broadly-defined painting language. Students work on individual projects while digging into experimental processes that boost the forward momentum of their work. Presentations, prompts, and critiques support purposeful discussions addressing how the work is communicating. Questions and topics covered include: How can time be captured through color? What is tactile knowledge? Who are your art ancestors and what is their role in the building of your visual language? What and how does your work communicate within the context of contemporary art? * This workshop is a program that includes joint critiques and discussions with Holly Hughes’ workshop, “Abstractions in Nature.” The two faculty are teaching separate workshops, but coordinating larger discussions and critiques between the two classes.
