Course Description

RISD CE abstract painting course

Discover the world of abstract painting, where you'll craft artworks that capture the essence and energy of a place, object, person or experience. Regardless of your reference imagery or inspiration, you'll place trust in your personal vision to create original paintings. You'll learn to use a range of drawing and painting materials and integrate them into your work. We'll explore influential movements like abstract expressionism, cubism and color field painting, and use them as sparks to ignite your own creative vision. By embracing these historical styles, you'll discover your distinctive voice as an artist. Previous painting experience is helpful but not required.
