Abstraction exists in all works of art, in the
artist’s translation of subject matter. How might
we then direct ourselves to stop labeling what we
are looking at and think more about our drawn
and painted marks within the narrative of the
whole? How does color create space or convey
sound? What is the pace of your hand and eye?
Where do you pause? How do you bridge the gaps
and transition from moment to moment, brush
stroke to brush stroke?
Join acclaimed artist and PAFA faculty member
Jan Baltzell to explore the different avenues
available as one moves from direct observation
toward abstraction and invention. Inspiration
will be sought from artists such as Henri Matisse,
Piet Mondrian and Richard Diebenkorn,
whose work reflects a transformation from a
representational approach to abstraction.
An expansive and visually stimulating still life
will serve as the basis and inspiration for
structure, movement, light, and color, as students
