Abstract & Contemporary Painting

Explore the world of abstract and contemporary art by creating work inspired by groundbreaking artists. We’ll start with the historical context of individual artists, learning about their chosen medium and process, before making work based on their unique techniques. Artists we will explore include Beatriz Milhazes, Alma Thomas, and Vincent van Gogh.

All levels welcome.

Instructor: Marion Buricatu earned a modern art certificate at the MOMA, became a docent at the Worcester Art Museum, and continuously keeps on learning.

Materials: While class materials will be provided, we ask that each student bring a sketchbook to class. Students will be given a prompt each week to encourage them to draw and share their work at the start of each class.
