Seeing in Abstract: Three-Hour Workshop
September 25th - 10AM - 1PM Semmes Studio, San Antonio Art League Tuition $65 - Limit Eight 
|
Sandy Whitby, Artist of the Year, Invites You!
Discover abstraction by noticing elements such as line, shape, color, texture, rhythm, contrast, and negative space in both artwork and the ordinary world, with the goal is to experiment and discover. We’ll take a walk-through of my exhibition — so we can discuss the elements that you see within some of the paintings. Noticing is such an important part of all artistic pursuits, so we’ll spend some time walking around the area looking for examples of “found abstraction.” The photos we take on our phones will be the inspiration for creating our own abstract compositions when we return to the studio. This workshop will be an introduction of how we can learn to see differently, use our intuition and play skills to create work that truly is an expression of who we are – mistakes and all. It’s time to learn to play again! |
