This course will explore using geometric shapes as a method to create reduced landscapes with acrylic paint. Images will be laid out in plains of color that will desaturate or shift in value as they recede into space, invoking depth. Processes will include establishing foreground, middle-ground, and background spaces, hard edge painting, layering, and understanding color relationships. Students are encouraged to invent their own image or use a landscape picture to be translated into a simplified abstraction.

Acrylic paints are fast drying, water-soluble and are easy to clean up. It’s also forgiving, if you make a mistake you can paint over it quickly. No prior experience is necessary.
