Master Teacher Hans Hofmann’s theory of push/pull is the catalyst for two generations of Abstract Expressionists in both New York and Provincetown from 1938 to 1957. Artists and educators Laura Shabott and Alana Barrett contemporize his theory in this course.
The 1-day workshop begins with a lecture about Hofmann and his students, moving into guided exercises with a model as our prompt. Artists will leave with a deeper understanding of how their lines, shapes, and compositions push and pull on a two-dimensional surface. A one-hour online critique in a scheduled group Zoom meeting will complete the course in an insightful and inspiring way (scheduled after the workshop).
