We will be exploring how to communicate ideas and connect artistic creations to ourselves, our community, and the world through describing, analyzing, interpreting, evaluating, and comparing and contrasting artworks by Close, Riley, Magritte, O’Keeffe, Haring, among others. We will develop and refine our drawing, painting, printmaking, and digital collage skills through projects such as self-portraits, surrealist optical illusions, altered media messages, and watercolor value resists.
