Value, edges, and color are fundamental elements of art that work together to create form, depth, and visual interest. Value refers to the lightness or darkness of a color. Edges define the boundaries between shapes and are described as sharp or soft, influencing how we perceive form and depth. Color, determined by light frequencies, adds another layer of visual information and can evoke emotional responses.

Simplicity is the philosophy and practice of creating only what is necessary within a work of art, and more important is keep in mind that the fewer cues to objective reality there are, the more abstract we say it is. Constraints, rather than hindering artistic expression, can act as a catalyst for unique ideas and problem-solving.

Nature is a great source of inspiration for all kinds of art, and abstract painting is no exception. Take a walk outside and look for shapes, colors, and forms that catch your eye. We will demonstrate that by simplifying natural elements, manipulating color, form, and using bold color palettes, and layering techniques we can convey a feeling or emotion rather than a realistic depiction of a specific object.

Presentations, art theory discussions and pin-up critique will allow for everyone to understand and develop their design narratives. Participants learn to create different layered abstractions and dynamic works by combining various elements and techniques.

The practice of Kintsugi - repairing broken vessels by sealing the cracks, then painting them gold - is a remarkable art. The Japanese believe the golden cracks make the pieces even more precious and valuable. It's beautiful to think of this practice as a metaphor for your life, to see the broken, difficult, or painful parts of you as radiating light, gold and beauty. Kintsugi teaches you that your broken places make you stronger and better than ever before. When you think you are broken, you can pick up the pieces, put them back together, and learn to embrace the cracks. No experience is needed. Each attendee will leave with a beautiful Kintsugi bowl.

Abstract geometric art is about hidden meanings, analogies, protests and deliberate simplification to prove that everything complicated is simple. We will discuss how, by looking inwardly, we can create personal narratives. Geometry plays a significant role in art and design, often carrying symbolic interpretations beyond its visual form. Geometric shapes and patterns are not just aesthetic elements but can also evoke specific emotions.

Monochrome painting is art composed in a single color. It utilizes various shades or tints, so the images become incredibly evocative and most importantly what you lose in not using color you’ll gain in quality of composition and contrast. Color is no longer a distraction. The focus is on the overall composition. Also mark-making is improved by enabling the discovery of different forms and shapes with subtle tones. Painting with a single color can improve your art because it makes you concentrate on elements such as line, value, lighting and form.
