Our first experimental art class was so freeing for students and teachers alike that we are bringing it back. You will push the boundaries of your painting beyond the typical paint on canvas. Inspired by iconic and contemporary artists such as Yayoi Kusama and Robert Rausenberg, students will use fabrics, collage, cardboard, wood, paper mache, image transfers, wire and a plethora of bold material and surface choices in their work.

Each week, there is a lecture on legacy and contemporary artists who experiment with materials. Then, there are weekly assignments and critiques, as well as live demonstrations and working time in class. Our midweek critique guides students toward completing the assignment by Saturday. This course is exciting, affirming and transformative.
