| Event Description |
Henri Matisse and Andre Derain were the creators of the powerful Fauve movement in art of the early 1900s. The act of painting, itself, was at the heart of Fauvism. It was the first movement to insist in explicit terms that a painting is the canvas and the pigments—not the subject. In the early 20th century, Fauvism led to abstract painting with artists like Hilma af Klint and Wassily Kandinsky, who focused on the absence of any formal composition as a recognizable subject. Abstract artists’ main purpose is to spark the imagination and invoke personal emotional experience.
This class will work on Fauve compositions and move them into abstract compositions focusing on our intuition with balance or imbalance of form, lines, colors, textures, and bold brushwork to achieve harmony or disarray.
Come join the fun, freedom, and excitement of Fauve and abstract painting. It is all a creative experiment! This class is for all levels of painters, both beginning and experienced. |
