From the bold expressionism of Franz Marc to the dreamy-eyed style of Margaret Keane, each week offers a new take on animal-inspired art. We'll finish with a powerful Aboriginal-style piece inspired by legendary artist Kenojuak Ashevak. Students will learn: stylization, contrast, creative expression, pattern and movement Artists studied: Week 1 - Franz Marc Week 2 - Laurel Burch Week 3 - Margaret Keane Week 4 - Kenojuak Ashevak Each course focuses on a specific theme, guided by the styles of both historic and contemporary artists. Classes are paced to balance step-by-step instruction with creative freedom and time to explore each artist’s approach. Some experience with drawing is recommended, but the instruction is designed to support a wide range of learners and skill levels. Classes are kept small to allow for individual support and interaction.
