Develop your sense of creative freedom, intuitive improvisation and discovery as we explore using the live model as source material for expressionistic and abstract painting. Using mixed media, collage, printing, stenciling and paint application students will learn how to deconstruct and manipulate the human figure, incorporating innovative methodologies into fully developed, revelatory paintings.

This course is open to all levels, no figure drawing or painting experience necessary.
