explore line, form, and pattern to create spatial relationships within a compositional structure.
Color theory, design, visual and physical reaction, process, and individual taste, will additional
be covered in order to establish a ‘personal’ voice within the language of abstraction.
Approaching abstraction from a ‘pure’ internal vantage point, as well as using a variety of
reference that exists around us, will be explored as a way to develop into the abstract territory.

and expansion toward artists intention of the final painting. While all mediums are welcome, oil
and acrylic will be used during the lecture and demos.
