Open Painting Class

This class offers an opportunity for students who have different approaches to painting to work together.. We will explore both abstract and representational approaches. You will be encouraged to draw ideas and inspiration from varied sources and to experience working with a variety of materials. An awareness of 20th century developments in colour, space, form and imagery will be important in the development of each student’s work.
