Painting From Within
Thursdays, April 11-May 9, 2013
How do we take inspiration from our external world and translate it to abstract art? Our every day lives are rich with moments worth observing: the music we listen to, books we read, walks we take, conversations that we have. All of these moments have the potential to become part of our art as the most powerful art comes from what we know intimately.
In this five-week class, instructor Brucie Holler will use a variety of media and different creative exercises to aid you in the discovery of what inspires you and how to translate that into personal expression. This class is for non-artists and artists and is open to those interested in delving into the spirit of art. Acrylic, tempera and other water media will be used.
Instructor: Brucie Holler
Times: 6:00-8:30pm
