Color Spot Drawing
Online Course (5 Weeks)
New Section: Sundays 12-3 PM EST (9-12 PM PST)
March 30- April 27, 2025
Taking inspiration from the “color spot” painting lineage associated with Charles Hawthorne and the Venetian School, this class teaches students to build drawings with abstract shapes of value and color. Using a variety of media including graphite, ballpoint pen, color pencil, oil pastel, and collage, students will learn how to create painterly drawings that toe the line between form and abstraction. Class assignments will also feature a variety of subject matter including still images of figure models, landscapes, and still life.
The objective of the class is to give students an accessible and modern perspective on drawing to enhance their sketching or painting practice. This class is especially useful for anyone who feels "stuck" in their art practice and would like to "loosen up" their drawing style. The class is suitable for all skill levels.
Class time will encompass in-depth demonstrations, lecture, Q/A, and individual feedback for the Full Seat participants. Classes will meet on Zoom. Homework, class recordings, and class materials will be available through Padlet.
Students will receive the Zoom link and other important class information via email two weeks before the first class.
