Join Warren County ARTS on Saturday, April 11th, 1-3pm in the Oxford Municipal Building. 11 Green St., Oxford NJ for the Working with Abstraction workshop lead by Tricia Goginsky to explore what the difference between Realism and Abstract is in art.
In this hands on workshop, we will discuss some foundational ideas in Abstract art such as simplification, stylization, symbolism, mark-making and expressive color. Guided by our discussions and creative prompts, participants will create a series of small original compositions that explore these ideas. As we work, we will build a vocabulary of techniques that artists can continue to use no matter what style of work they prefer. Each participant will have the opportunity to explore the characteristics that they find most interesting. No previous experience is necessary. This workshop is for anyone who loves creative thinking and wants to explore the ideas behind abstract art.
All necessary supplies will be provided, but participants are welcome to bring the following supplies if they prefer to use their own or want to add to the materials available to share: Pencil, black pen, sketchbook (if you prefer to sketch in your own sketchbook vs loose paper), paint brushes appropriate for acrylic paint, palette knife, water container, rag (if you prefer not to use paper towel), acrylic paint in a few favorite colors (primary mixing colors will be provided).
This program is free to members of WCARTS, $10 for non-members. Class size is limited to 25 participants.
