In this artistic journey, our goal will be to learn the rules to eventually break them!

We will be stepping beyond traditional approaches by combining both classical and contemporary techniques. We will initially focus on grasping the fundamentals, but will gradually push beyond our comfort zones and what we see through the manipulation of value, color, composition, execution, and subject matter.

After getting a good grasp of the fundamentals, students will be encouraged to break the rules. Students will have the option to brainstorm unique ideas/compositions to work from while combining previously learned material. Students will have the opportunity to experiment with a full spectrum of colors, play with mixed media, different textures, subject matter, you name it! The possibilities in this class will be endless as we continue to push the boundaries, think outside the box, and break the rules.
