Using charcoal, non traditional drawing techniques and time honored landscape compositions we will make abstract works on paper. Our goal is to create drawings that suggest natural forms, space and light, filtered through our interpretations of those compositions and our individual approach to the materials and methods.
(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 Sunday, July 20. More information on our policies for cancellations can be found HERE.)
