Brewster Council on Aging presents Abstract & Expressive Art with Jennifer Stratton

Many people tend to shy away from abstract art because they don’t understand it. In this class you will be looking at some famous abstract painters like Jackson Pollack, Mark Rothko, Christine Ay Tjoe as jumping off points for your own work. In abstract art, you rely much more on form, color, texture, line, and tone, to create your piece. These basic elements are important to learn for any art. There will also be an exploration of other expressive arts which can be a combination of abstract and more realistic art. No matter what your level of art experience is, this is a place for you to come, get through the winter doldrums and have fun. You'll be working in acrylic, watercolor and other mixed media mediums.
