WED AM - Special Studies: "Fauvism: Color w/Conviction": Level 3 w/Maureen

What makes certain contemporary paintings feel so powerful — and why are they in such high demand?In this class, we’ll take a closer look at the visual language of today’s leading artists like Jadé Fadojutimi, Jenny Saville, and Tunji Adeniyi-Jones.Through texture, color, and thoughtful composition, you’ll learn how to bring that same clarity and impact into your own work.​In this class, you will learn:

• how to use texture and color for high-impact art
• techniques for dynamic, layered surfaces
• to create visual energy through a modern color palette
• thoughtful, expressive composition
• how to draw inspiration from top contemporary artists without copying them

By the end of the class, students will walk away with a gallery-worthy painting that reflects their personal style. Students will also gain a better understanding of what makes art feel strong, relevant, and meaningful.This is a studio class and students will be using their supplies on the first week.Supply List for Students to Bring on Week 1:
