Design Practice: Geometric Abstraction


Use geometric designs to create formal elegance in your compositions.


More details

This workshop will provide hands-on examples on how to use geometric abstraction to create exciting designs and compositions. You will be led through a series of cut paper and watercolour painting exercises to discover the possibilities of this dynamic approach to design. The workshop will include a short presentation on 20th century and contemporary artists working within the realm of geometric abstraction. Shape, colour, and composition will be the focus throughout the workshop, and you will be encouraged to work at your own pace. The first day will focus on generating compositional studies and material exploration, while the second day will be spent working on two small pieces that relate to each other, based on the work created on day one. You will leave the workshop with two completed works on paper, and a series of sketches or small compositions to fuel future work. Suitable for all levels. See supply list. SATURDAY & SUNDAY, JULY 11 & JULY 12, 1:30 - 4:30PM(PDT) IN-PERSON
