Exploring Mark-Making in Drawing & Painting

session 1: Wednesdays, October 2 – 30  5:30 pm – 8:30 pm  $350 Register – Wed evening

session 2: Tuesdays, Nov 5, 12, 19 & Dec 3, 10   12:30-3:30 pm  $350  Register – Tues afternoon

Explore the expressive potential of mark making in painting and in drawing.  In this 5 week class, we will study the work of a wide range of artists to see how they make marks consciously, intuitively or accidentally to bring energy and interest to their work. In each class, you will explore a different material and/or technique to create your own unique marks. These will be collected in a personal portfolio or sketchbook.  Additionally, throughout the five weeks, you will create a larger piece (or series of pieces) in response to the mark-making vocabulary you develop.

Drawing and painting materials are provided and will include pencil, charcoal, ink, pastel, oil sticks and acrylic paint.  Additionally, the class will supply paper for exercises and experimentation. You are asked to bring in (by the second class) a canvas or other substrate (paper, panel or board) to use for your extended project.
