“The object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a reality of the same intensity.” Alberto Giacometti

Students will learn about drawing and painting from observation while focusing on making successful creative choices. During this workshop students will observe real objects, and learn to translate the physical world to the representational via drawing and painting. Precursory sketches and a final mixed media piece will be created. Students will look to Wayne ThiebaudGiorgio MorandiPaul Cézanne, and Henri Matisse for inspiration.
