In this class, we will use various types of music as jumping off points to creating free wheeling abstractions using simple materials such as gouache, water color, colored pencils, pens, pencils and erasers. Various composers will be featured whose work will be performed this summer at Tanglewood. By augmenting your artful experiences with live concerts, you will gain a deeper understanding both of the music and the inspirations that will come from intimate listening. Come with an open mind, a curious ear and no fear about creating!

Please note, full time Berkshire Residents may obtain a Berkshire Resident's Pass for the Tanglewood Season. This pass, which costs $125 for the entire season, will allow you to drop into any BSO, TMC and classical guest artist's performances allowing you to sit on the lawn, listen up and make paintings while you listen! Highly encouraged.

(In the event that BAC has to cancel a class session due to weather or facility emergencies, please note the pre-scheduled makeup date for this course will be Tuesday, August 27. More information on our policies for cancellations can be found HERE.)
