abstract painting is the experience of painting on canvas with an empty mind, and not the outcome of that experience.
–David Ament’s definition of Abstract Art
THIS WORKSHOP EXAMINES ABSTRACT PAINTING – WHAT IT IS, WHAT ITS SUBJECT MATTER IS, AND HOW IT IS DONE. STUDENTS MUST BE AT LEAST TWENTY-ONE YEARS OLD AND SHOULD BE EXPERIENCED AND ACTIVE PAINTERS ABLE TO TAKE THEIR INSTRUCTOR’S GUIDANCE AND THEN WORK INDEPENDENTLY IN THE EFFORT TO FIND THEIR OWN, INDIVIDUAL WAY OF EXPRESSING THEMSELVES. THIS IS NOT A WORKSHOP FOR BEGINNERS.
