Learn the beauty of the vibrant medium of pastel! This class will include demonstrations and individual instruction in the fundamentals of working with pastels. Using pastel as both a fundamental drawing and painting medium as well as an expression of gestural color to traditional drawing methods. Discussion on techniques such as underpainting and blending will help build towards creating balanced color and tonal studies from observational subject matter of still life and the figure.
DRIVEN TO ABSTRACTION! Judy Schaefer 22S PAI141: Mondays, Mar 28-Jun 6, 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM No class on May 30 10 sessions $360 ($365 after Mar 18) Material list: tasoc.org Intermediate and advanced This course is about having a good idea, whether referential or non-objective, and using one’s medium to confirm it. We begin class with a group discussion of each student’s current work. Because this is reflective of their very different journeys, we are able to explore and compare their diverse approaches to the structuring of pictorial space and to the expressive use of form, color, line, rhythm, and surface. Whether your goal is to find your focus or to gain more control of the process, join us! Advanced painters new to abstraction are welcome. Oil, acrylic, or pastel.
TECHNIQUES IN CLASSICAL PAINTING Dana DiMuro 22S PAI163: Tuesdays, Mar 29-May 31, 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM 10 sessions $360 ($365 after Mar 18) Material fee $10 Material list: tasoc.org Beginner This class aims to train the artist to acquire an understanding of the works and methods of the Old Masters while gaining their own creative self-confidence in this contemporary world. Students will receive individual attention with a demonstrative and hands-on approach to the fundamentals of painting. Students will learn how to approach the process of painting – the use of light in the composition and the effects of light and shadow on nature as we work from various still life set ups. We will draw our still life first, then transfer those to our canvases. Designed for beginner painters, or those who have been away from making art for a while. This class is also open to intermediate painters who want to take a step back and discover what they may have missed from the start.
