Symbolic Journey to the Moon and Back

Tuition $325 Regular / $270 Members

We will explore several methods for including symbolism in art to help establish deeper meaning and communication while also learning acrylic techniques. Attendees will learn one method for prepping a canvas, paint a sky with clouds, block in background and paint a simple composition that includes at least one item of

symbolic meaning that is not the main focal point. Instructor will bring items to spark creativity along with other reference materials. Attendees are also encouraged to bring images that hold symbolic meaning to them. Attendees will paint dark to light,

using glazing techniques when applicable and leave with a better understanding of “shape painting” while working background to foreground.

Be prepared to come away with a complete or almost complete acrylic painting rich in symbolism as we explore methods for diving deeper.
