Abstracting Reality 2 continues an experimental exploration of space and shape; colour and composition; mark making and pattern; and personal expression and will dig deeper into process.
Students will be encouraged to follow their own trajectories and develop individual projects based on their investigations.
Structured exercises will explore different strategies for beginning each project and students willwork on multiple paintings at once.

approaches.
Each project will be supported by relevant presentations of contemporary abstract
painting.
