Description

Discovering the Key Elements of "Play". Working with line, shape, scale and "editing". There are many different components of painting, however this workshop will focus on three. The first component will be to become more aware of your thought process. Second is to learn to trust your instincts while creating a painting, and third, to take calculated risks (*while having fun!). Quick decision making will allow for a "playful" process. In this session, we will focus on 3 or 4 small paintings. ”Having fun” isn’t just an absentminded, auto-pilot mindset. Playfulness can help alleviate self-induced pressure to get something “right.” Having fun is a process that can make available the support for risk taking, and tapping into a personal visual language. All materials will be provided along with light refreshments. All levels of art appreciation are encouraged to participate.
