Make your mark! Abstract expressive painting…..find what marks are unique to you and only you!

“Line can evoke an emotional response second to none…..the key element is variety..”….Jenny Nelson

Students will be encouraged by a series of studies/exercises to open up to mark making in a intuitive way. We each have a unique way a mark is applied either by way of writing or painting that helps us to communicate and express shapes, light, form, volume and feeling. Learn to stretch the properties of the mediums you will be using. Expressive mark making creates a flow and rhythm that offers a variety and interest to a piece. Marks are the alphabet with which a drawing is made. Mark making is the manifestation of a gestural energy! Lets discover your energy and create some great art!

Students will create works on paper and canvas.
