Experimental Masters with Mary Moquin

The primary object of this course is to increase your artistic vocabulary through experimentation and is geared to more advanced students. An advanced student is someone who feels they have reached a point in which they have certain tools firmly under their belt but feel stuck and uncertain as to where their work is going now. They are ready to push it to the next level. We often fall into patterns of working and develop limiting beliefs of what painting is “supposed to be”. This course will push you to experiment to find a mode of expression that is uniquely yours. Participants will work on multiple similar paintings at the same time. With multiples going, there is the ability to compare and make decisions more freely without the fear of “messing” something up and different solutions to perceived problems can be tried. The extended class time will allow for periodic critiques and presentations. All mediums are welcome. As there is a print press on site, various printmaking techniques can also be explored and incorporated.
