In this studio course, we will create abstract paintings using a variety of media while exploring aspects of form, color, composition, and format. We will also discuss a range of historical, technical, and conceptual approaches to abstract painting through slide lectures with a particular emphasis on current developments and trends in abstract painting. Through individual discussions and group critiques, we will explore the connections between these various aspects with a focus on personal discovery.
