EXPLORING ART THROUGH WHIMSY
How serious should an artist be when creating art? How serious should works of art be? What is whimsy? Explore these questions when you create various works of art in the studio and outdoors. Create a sculpture in the style of Barbara Kobylinska and Gustavo Remirez Cruz. Paint a plein air painting in one day. Explore the creativity of glitch art and add glitch to your painting. Experiment with watercolor techniques, creating quirky creatures. At the end of this art-filled week, you will be able to enhance your creativity and your experience with a wide range of art media.
