W6 | The Poetic Language of Painting

Explore painting as a poetic and expressive language. Investigate how color, light, texture, and patterns create atmosphere, mood, and spatial movement, whether you are working representationally or abstractly. Learn how artists such as Henri Matisse, Willem De Kooning, Cy Twombly and others modify and improvise their compositions in order to create harmony. Emphasis will be on developing your distinct visual voice, exploring metaphors, and evoking emotional content in your work.
