Landscapes Real and Imagined
In this class we will use a variety of art making processes to come up with images that exist somewhere between abstraction and landcape. We will study the art of Mark Rothko and Milton Avery among others to better understand how such images operate. We will also do a number of life drawings of the incredible views of The Bronx from around our fantastic building to see how the urban environment can contribute to the process.
