Overview
During this workshop, we will draw inspiration from personal narratives—memories, stories, and dreams—to produce expressive abstract paintings with an emphasis on the figure and iconography. Looking to Bob Thompson’s highly personal and symbolic visual vocabulary as inspiration, we’ll develop our own iconography while examining the elements of art such as color, form, and composition. Similar to Thompson’s practice which is exemplified in Bob Thompson: This House is Mine, participants will reference classical paintings while creating abstracted, vibrant, and personal works of art.
Studio Sessions are designed for adults, but all ages are welcome. Materials will be provided. No prior experience is necessary.
