In this class you will learn to draw objects that will be transformed into abstracted compositions. You will experiment with charcoal, soft pastels, graphite and other media on paper. You will encourage to create still-lives, photograph them and work from the printed images. We will also use collages as as inspiration images for the abstract pieces. Some of the artists we will investigate are Pablo Picasso, Georgia O'keeffe (landscapes and flowers), Gustav Klimt, and others.
