This ONLINE course provides an opportunity for intermediate to advanced acrylic painting students to focus on developing their personal voice, understanding and capitalizing on inherent visual tendencies, comprehending the process of completing a coherent body of work and developing the confidence to see an idea through various stages to a finished product. Each week students will upload their artwork into the course folder (in Google Drive). We will then participate in an online analysis of your images each class (all students will participate in these discussions).

There will also be art talks and/or art videos that address various issues on becoming an effective and productive maker. This course does not include online material demonstrations but will address individual student needs.

New students to this class are asked to gather approximately 7 photos of their work to share in the first class (a Google Drive link will be sent before the first class).

Basic Prerequisite: Tina Poplawski’s courses Acrylics Basics, Contemporary Impressionism or an intermediate to advanced level of understanding in acrylic paint and acrylic mediums and gels.

Tina has been an instructor at the Toronto School of Art since 1993. Poplawski has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in Ontario, Quebec and New York. Two galleries in Toronto, the V. MacDonnell Gallery and Lehmann Leskiw Fine Art, have represented Poplawski. Her work is found in North American and European collections both corporate and private. She is the recipient of many awards, including numerous Ontario Art Council Grants. Her work focuses on textured paintings, sculptural objects and paper works arranged into multi-faceted installations. Her art practice focuses on the contrasting concerns of destruction and re-creation, violent upheaval and spiritual renewal. Her work is driven by themes of loss, returning to the earth's embrace and patterns in nature.
