ABSTRACT ART (grades PreK-12)

This program encompasses techniques of collage, painting and drawing. In this course students will learn about representing their ideas and feelings through the use of abstract art using geometry, spatial relationships and color fields instead of literal representations of the world around them. Students will learn about balancing composition and space in their creations. They will be inspired by music as well as by the works of various famous artists. Students will finish this course of study knowing that the paint Jackson Pollack used was not just thrown down randomly, that much thought and planning goes into seemingly simple works of art. Marquis Studios’ teaching artists have taught this program to students from 1 st grade and up. Understanding and using Abstraction is not intellectually daunting for students; it is intellectually stimulating.
