Painting the figure is as old as the history of art. The human form has inspired artists as a symbol of the human condition, or been used as a point of departure for abstraction. In this four-part class, take a fresh approach to traditional figurative art by translating casual cell-phone snapshots into a fully realized painting. Explore a range of artistic interpretations of the figure through a tour of the Museum’s Collection, then bring your own approach to composition, color, space, and form to add meaning to your artwork.
Instructor Joel Edwards is founder and codirector of CANVAS ArtSpace in Hendersonville. He holds an undergraduate degree in painting from the Maryland Institute College of Art. Residencies include the AICA Studio Program in New York and the Sante Fe Master’s program with American contemporary master figurative painter Eric Fischl and Abstract Expressionist Helen Frankenthaler.
