Students will enjoy group discussions, one-on-one guidance, brief lectures and critiques of the previous week’s projects. Attendees will paint, dive into early abstract art history, master the art and vocabulary of a robust critique and translate it into artistic growth and original style. Students will explore color theory, elements of composition, painting from still-life arrangements as well as real life, improvisation based on early 20th-century art history of abstraction and learn how to interpret concepts and ideas. Class fees range from $100 to $200. Learn more and register at above-below-art.com.
