An exploration of acrylic painting techniques, meditation, and the work of Jackson Pollock to kickstart your creativity!This session featuring the work of Jackson Pollock who was a major figure in the abstract expressionist movement.
This acrylic painting workshop is includes art history, technique, and a lot of creative exploration! Instructor Beverly "Bevo" Manning will lead this class, exploring this session's theme inspired by the pioneer of abstract art, Jackson Pollock, and guide students through his painting techniques used to make some of this most famous works. This workshop will also cover the fundamentals of color mixing and producing a balanced composition.
The main goal for this workshop is to give an opportunity for students to learn, explore, relax and enjoy painting. While everyone is encouraged to take this workshop, it was designed with three specific types of people in mind: those who've never painted before, those who feel like their creativity is being blocked, and those who just are curious to explore something new, all while leaving with a canvas painting.
At the start of the workshop, the instructor will introduce a meditation technique meant to open up the creative mind, helping each student set a specific intention that will subconsciously influence his/her/their painting style. The workshop will then dive into a brief art history lesson on the session's featured artist, and then time to create your own painting. Get ready to get creative!
All materials are provided.
This workshop is best for ages 16+
