NEW! Figure As A Point ofDeparture NOTE DATESIf you are tired of getting lost in the details andthe traditional look of the human figure andwant to take risk and explore new ways of ex-pressing it, this class is for you. Paint and drawthe human figure in a looser and more expres-sionistic contemporary manner. Refine yourpainting skills to create a lively surface which willbe considered a playground for intuitive creativ-ity, technique and skill. Expert instruction andadvice from the instructor will push students toexplore new possibilities and work more intu-itively, allowing unplanned marks and passagesto become artistic breakthroughs. Examplesfrom contemporary and modern art will be ex-amined to promote a broader understanding ofthe abstract qualities of space, line andcolor. Dive in a territory where accidents andrecklessness are opportunities.Teacher: Kassem AmoudiDates: September 29–December 8
