Nature and Weather
10 Week Class ONLINE | Available
In this course, we will explore Nature and Weather through Drawing, Watercolour and Pastel Painting, Monoprinting and Mixed Media. From Sunsets to Storms, Icicles, Raindrops and Fall Foliage, we will create images that depict and express our deep connections and concerns with our changing seasons and phenomena in our surroundings. Through presentations and demonstrations, group discussions and individual mentorship, this class offers not only an insight into art techniques with various media, but also an art historical as well as contemporary art making context.
Note: There will be no class on Monday, October 14th due to the Thanksgiving Holiday.
