What is Nature? What modes of expression does Nature find in the arts? In the Visual Art Workshop I will
introduce important European artists with different approaches to nature. In the workshop we will experiment with diverse materials and techniques, producing two-dimensional and three-dimensional artworks.
At the end of the course the students will have the chance to participate in a group exhibition.
The students will achieve practice and experience in expressing themselves in diverse media and techniques.
They will get a deeper consciousness and knowledge about Nature and its reflections in the arts.
The class meets on four Saturdays, November 24, December 1 / 8 / 15, from 10.30 to 17.30 (lunch break included).
