❗❗ABSTRACT ART: art that expresses a visual language or world using shape, form, color and line❗❗

Want to be able to create your own visual world using acrylic paints? 

Artists will learn the basics of acrylic paints, create five original abstract artworks, learn techniques to apply to any style of painting, and will gain an understanding in composition, attracting the viewer's eye, as well as staying motivated on those hard art block days.

Each week, artists will watch short lectures and video clips of painting demonstrations modeled by the teacher. Artists are expected to submit photos of their works to be critiqued by the teacher. Artists also have the opportunity to comment on other learner's works to help encourage one another on their own art journeys.
