Abstract art based on the use of geometric shapes was popularized by artists in the early 20th century. In this five-hour, small-group/in-person workshop, learn how to plan a non-representational composition with a variety of lines and shapes in addition to creating color mixtures with watercolor paint and colored pencils. For creative inspiration, students will view and discuss artwork examples in the galleries and through presentation and demonstration. No prior art experience is required.
