Level: All levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced)

Embrace uncertainty and spontaneity! Let your artwork change in mid-course, and create dissonance between the end product and how it began. Instead of documenting a certain concept or subject, play with materials to create abstract images that explore the potential of working reductively to hide and then expose underlying layers using sanding, scraping, and scratching. Experiment with tension, suggestiveness, psychological space, contradiction, and layered meanings that open all manner of possibilities for future work. Work with a variety of media to discover methods and techniques for generating and grappling with ambiguous images that say the unsaid and augment the meaning of the visual experience.

Instructor Pamela Lanza has an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute.
