Improvisation on Canvas is a hands-on, three-hour workshop that invites participants to paint while listening to a curated jazz playlist, focusing on abstract expression through texture, movement, and color. Inspired by Bebop-era greats such as Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Miles Davis, along with other modern jazz composers, this immersive experience encourages students to “hear” color and “listen” for shape.
Led by recognized artist and experienced educator Kathy Kosins, the workshop offers an exciting exploration of sound translated into visual form. Kathy will provide individual guidance throughout the session and encourage experimentation with alternative tools and materials, which she will supply.
Participants should bring a few small to medium canvases, along with paints and brushes they enjoy working with. Acrylic paint is recommended. (Please avoid very large canvases.)
The workshop concludes with an optional group share, allowing participants to reflect on their work, learn from one another, and discuss their creative process.
