FEBRUARY THEME: Paint From Your Heart
“The human heart is the masterpiece of the primal artist. When God created it, it was fashioned for an eternal kinship with beauty.” – John O’ Donohue
Wassily Kandinsky is considered the pioneer of abstract art. His masterful work combined vivid colors and abstract forms to express deep spirituality. For this session, we will use his renowned painting “Squares with Concentric Circles” to inspire our spontaneous expression of feelings with paint. Join us for an evening of chromatic fun as we splash colors and shapes in a visual manifestation of our creative spirit.
