Saturdays
Hard-Edged Abstraction
We will start off each virtual lesson with a lecture of hard-edge painters that includes those already in the traditional art cannon, as well as up and coming artists working in this style. Then we will move on to an assignment for that week - i.e. focus on geometric shapes, organic shapes, large vs. small, pattern etc. If necessary, a live demo will be provided for the students regarding the assignment. Students' work will then be critiqued in the following class.
Beginner-Advanced Level. Students should have taken a painting class before.

Color & Sound
Every week the class will hear a new auditory peice written by composer and trombonist Eli Feingold. The auditory piece will be specifically written to accompany a color theory assignment and presentation for that week. For example - if we are working with warm colors for that week, the auditory piece will involve “warm” sounds. The students will then go home and make a painting based off of the auditory piece (they will be encouraged to listen to it as they paint) and we will critique their work in the following class.
