Class Description: Working to create a series of five paintings in a theme of your choice you will explore new ideas, stretch your painting skills and move in new directions. In 1891, Claude Monet exhibited 15 Haystack paintings that explored the effects of light and color at differing times of day and seasons that captivated his audience. The theme for your series is your choice and should be something you are excited about. It could be a subject (buildings, portraits, flowers), a style (realism, abstraction, cubism), a method (palette knife, glazing, impasto), an emotion (joy, anger, excitement) or a broad theme, (fire, weather, color, contrast). Come to the first class with your inspirations in the form of printed original photos, drawings and examples to explain your theme to the group. You should have a working knowledge of how to work with acrylics and a willingness to work in a cooperative setting.
