...not just another pretty face.

This course intends to raise the stakes for intermediate and advanced artists to move beyond merely depicting the beautiful. The aim is to create thoughtful works with significant meaning, to complement the beautiful with originality and innovation. Students will explore what it means to be original and discover their authentic voice concerning themes from the intimate to the infinite through critique, lecture and exercises.

The course explores experimenting with established technique to bolster the import of the subject. By now the student is able to paint beautiful images, but feels that there could be more for them to say as artists than they are getting with a habitual diet of a comfortable aesthetic. Each person is such a story, has so much to say. This class will break through the conceptual blocks that can hit an artist now and then, by sparking new ideas and innovations
