A non-objective and/or abstract multimedia class, investigating ways to develop your own unique artistic voice.  This month we will examine our preferences to further develop our own unique path of mark making, design, color, textures, etc.  Join us as we move away from “pretty” paintings and explore a more introspective and sometimes edgy way to paint.
