What is the appropriate role of a reference image in creating an abstracted landscape? We’ll tackle this question throughout this four-week class, focused on Sparking Abstraction. We’ll look at examples by contemporary artists who use the landscape as a vehicle for exploring abstract concepts. Beyond the tangible elements of the landscape, what are the intangible qualities being expressed? By isolating a number of strategies, students will be encouraged to developing their own artistic voice while starting with the landscape.
