IN PERSON: This course is designed for intermediate-level students looking to build their skills in abstract art and collage techniques. Class sessions will focus on personal projects, critiques and learning uncommon processes such as monoprinting and paper-altering to create distinctive patterns and backgrounds. Discussions about modern art and artists will be encouraged. Beginning students open to abstraction will feel comfortable, as the course emphasizes one-on-one interaction with the instructor. Students should bring their own art supplies, though the instructor will share many unique papers and collage materials from her own inventory. Throughout the course, students will be challenged and supported in discovering their own artistic style. | Facilitated discussion, Active Skill Learning.
Max enrollment: 12.
Location: The Forrest at Duke, 2701 Pickett Rd, Durham, NC 27705
Bernice Koff signed up for a watercolor class nearly 30 years ago. Rediscovering her dormant passion for painting, she enrolled in art school, studied privately, attended workshops and quickly began exhibiting her work. Moving to the Triangle area led to membership in the Orange County Artists Guild and teaching art through the OLLI program and Durham Arts Council.
