You will practice creating diagonal swaths of light, and imitate the
gilded and burnished surface of the stacks to create your own MONET.
Come to this class to explore one of Claude Monet’s famed and
majestic paintings of grain stacks. These paintings are considered to
be an entryway to Modernism and Abstract Expressionism, with their
focus on simple shapes, variations of light, and intensity of color
depending on the season. Monet’s rectangles and triangles paved the
way for Abstract Expressionistic shapes, such as those of Mark Rothko.
Put your own spin on Impressionism in this class. Learn to break down
the prismatic colors of Monet’s palette and reassemble them in your
own inimitable way on canvas. Practice creating diagonal swaths of
light, imitate the gilded and burnished surface of the stacks and walk
away with your own version of Monet’s grain stacks in the snow.
