Abstract-A-Licious
If you've looked with secret longing at the world of Abstract Art but have no idea where to begin, this is the class for you.
Lessons consist of concrete design exercises that are clear and easily understood. Ample encouragement from an award winning teacher is a bonus!
We will explore the concept of Abstract Art, define it for the purposes of the course, and play with exercises that will help you spill out ideas unique to you alone. These ideas are the spark that you can feed until it becomes a flame, the seed that you can choose to nourish and grow into a fully grown composition. We start small and build concept by concept, developing and refining each exercise in a process of studying the elements that come together to create a pleasing composition.
You will learn:
Five easy ways to create ideas for abstract compositions
How to apply the visual elements of Line, Texture, Shape, Value and Color to further develop your compositions into pleasing artwork.
A process of playful exploration
❤️Thanks for all of your feedback AND
encouragement - such a great 'kick in the ass' class!" - Pam Lowe
How This Course Works
This course is an online on-demand workshop. You will need an internet connection to stream each video.
Each lesson includes space for you to share your pictures and get feedback from your classmates. The more
you contribute, the livelier the class will be. Lyric will pop in to give feedback on each picture posted. This
platform provides a safe space for a lively and sharing creative community to explore without judgment and competition.
Just like in a live classroom, you'll be able to see your fellow students' work and discuss how things are
going. You'll get encouragement and instruction from Lyric on all the work you post.
There are short videos to show how Lyric works for each exercise and to explain the gist of things.
Supplies consist of things you already have at hand, so you won't waste time or money shopping for things you might not use again. The most important supply is an adventurous willingness to explore, grow, and play as you learn to see and create within the framework of abstract design. Doodles will be scribbled, eyes and minds will be opened, and fun will be had. Won't you join us?
