Saturday, September 7, 2024
1:30 - 6pm (1/2 snack break)
$65 +$20 material fee
Many of you may know Klimt's gorgeous women and his colorful patterns, Klimt was a powerful force in the Viennese Secession art movement which later became known as Art Nouveau, they claimed "For every time its art. For art its freedom". The beauty of line and form inspired by nature and the female form were central artistic themes in the Art Nouveau movement as well as the original aesthetic of many of our modern bohemian aesthetics like the spiraling lines and women wearing lose airy clothes with spiraling ferns and curling flowers and later influenced 1960's psychedelic rock posters.
In this one day workshop we will explore pattern and line with a splash of color while working with acrylics, oil pastel, colored pencil and pen. We will explore Klimt's design inspirations from Egyptian hieroglyphics to Japanese designs as well as looking at jewelry, architecture and other painters of the Secession and Art Nouveau movements. You will then choose patterns and forms as a focus of your individual paintings that you will create in the workshop.
