Artist Way Recording Description

The demo will focus on some techniques to create a dynamic abstract work on paper with a focus on strong composition to sustain the overall work.

This is a demo that builds on each artist’s intuition and willingness to experiment, therefore students should come with materials they feel most comfortable with.

magazines or old books
