FUNdamentals of Art by Mark Christopher

Individual Sessions

Fundamentals of Art - Mark Christopher

 

Class Description:

For 6 sessions, students are invited to join Mark Christopher for an exploration into one of the FUNdamental elements of creating a work of art. From a foundational idea such as how to decide a subject matter, to more nuanced discussions on using colors and values to evoke emotion, each session will have a particular focus with demos, a short lecture, and more tips and tricks than you can shake a paintbrush at! Whether working on a personal project or developing a piece based on prompts from that week's focus, each student will be creating a unique work with insights and technical help in an open studio environment.

Bring whatever you'd like to work on. Bring your paints, canvas, paper, drawing supplies - bring your own supplies in whatever media you choose. You can practice using the FUNdamental that Mark will talk about that day, or you can work on your own project. Either way, Mark will provide advice, insight, and encouragement for your particular art work.
