I am looking forward to teaching two painting classes at UCBX this Fall: Approaches to Abstraction, and a Painting Workshop.
My classes are designed to take your painting to the next level by asking you to consider what it means to be an artist. Organized like a laboratory, they encourage an exploration of art practices and art making specific to artistic maturation. You will explore a variety of approaches to painting, hone your technical painting skills, and look closer at contemporary painting practices. You will increase your familiarity with art history and concepts of contemporary art specific to painting through in-class lectures, local museum and gallery visits and image presentations. My goal is to aid you to make painting a valuable part of your life that leads to personal expression as well as a foundation to build upon in your future artistic/academic pursuits.
This intermediate- to advanced-level workshop helps you realize your creative ideas by focusing on personal expression. You are encouraged to take risks, to explore unpredictable rather than predictable painting and to engage in painting rather than picture making. Building on foundation courses, we will explore specific techniques and genres of painting. Through a deeper investigation of painting practices, you will explore ideas, concepts and specific painting problems designed to hone and focus your voice as a painter.
