Art Studi-O Exploring Abstraction with Myron Solomon Jr. Session II

Thursdays, December 10th and 17th Join Museum Educator Myron Solomon to explore abstract painting and sculpture inspired by the exhibition, In the Eyes and Mind of the Feral Child: The Art of Tom McNease. Participants will explore fluid painting before transforming their painted materials into three-dimensional forms. Using color, movement, shape, and balance, students will move from painting on a flat surface to creating a suspended abstract sculpture. What to expect: December 10: Fluid Painting: Create fluid abstract paintings while preparing painted sheets to dry and use in the following project. December 17: Floating Sculpture: Use dried paint pieces to create a suspended mobile sculpture where color and form move through space. Supplies provided, but personal materials and meaningful found objects are encouraged. Questions?
