Spring 2023 Offerings
Abstracted Landscape
The student will learn how to look at a subject and abstract it. This style of painting was invented by Paul Cézanne, who brought it to popularity in the 1800’s. He became frustrated having to paint landscapes that looked exactly like what he saw. He decided to put a twist on how things would appear in his paintings. People soon became intrigued, and the art form was very quickly accepted. Students will be taught how to plan, execute, and finish a painting in this style.
Instructor: Robert Hubbard
Day: Wednesdays Time: 6:30 - 9pm
Dates: Apr 5 - May 10 (6 weeks)

Plexiglass Etching
