Using photographs and observation as a starting point, students will learn to simplify natural forms, develop silhouettes and repeating shapes, and use bold, unexpected color to create a more personal and expressive composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorking with water-mixable oils, we’ll explore base painting, color blocking, layering, and glazing techniques while considering how pattern can create movement, depth, and atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than simply reproducing what we see, the goal will be to break nature apart and put it back together—finding the balance between landscape, pattern, and abstraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplies included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMembers receive 15% off art classes!\u003c\/b\u003e Want to become a member? \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.elmhurstartmuseum.org\/support\/membership\/\"\u003eVisit our website\u003c\/a\u003e to learn more and register!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eContact \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/eam-shop.myshopify.com\/admin\/products\/membership@elmhurstartmuseum.org\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003emembership@elmhurstartmuseum.org\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e or call 630-834-0202 for your Member discount code to receive 15% off at checkout.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFor questions call 630-834-0202 or email \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ca href=\"mailto:education@elmhurstartmuseum.org\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eeducation@elmhurstartmuseum.org\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRefunds will not be accepted within 48 hrs of the start of this program.
