    $35.00 $36.75

    Subject this week:  #1 Abstraction: Using the Silhouette as a starting point
     This week we’re starting a series of classes on abstraction.  In this class we’ll start by using a simple silhouette to flatten an image, moving to a more complicated silhouette and then back to combining a flattened image with more 3 dimensional elements.  It’s going to be a lot of fun!  Extra supplies required:  Full sheet of watercolour paper, masking tape, a binder sleeve, and a watercolour crayon.

    Subject this week:  #3 Abstraction: What to leave out?
    For this class you don’t need to have taken the “Introduction to Gestalt Theory” but we’re going to explore one of the concepts discussed: Closure.  The brain is good at filling in gaps to create a whole.  Interesting abstraction often leaves a lot for the viewer to interpret, but how do you know what to leave out?  In this class we will explore this idea.
