Fauvism Workshop
Unleash your “Wild Beast”
Learn to create colorful artwork with techniques employed by the Fauves (Wild Beasts)!
Let’s play with color! Learn to paint in the Fauvist style, where color walks on the wild side. Together, we will investigate the hallmarks of the Fauvism Movement: early 20th-century French modern artists like Henri Matisse and André Derain, who worked in a painterly style emphasizing intense color over representational or realistic values. We will explore color, value, and composition with curiosity and imagination.
WHAT TO EXPECT
We will delve into the principles of Fauvism through brief talks and guided exercises followed by open studio time, ending with a supportive critique. My aim is for this workshop to foster camaraderie as we embark on adventures filled with a fearless use of color to set our inner beasts free! Grrrrr!!!!!!
Weather permitting, we will walk to Prospect Terrace Park for sketching and inspiration.
Artists using any 2-D medium are welcome; however, I am gearing the color mixing section of this workshop for painting. I will demonstrate with acrylics.
Start Collecting:
1. Printed photographs of what you want to create to use as inspiration for this workshop.
2. Scraps of solid colored paper from magazines, flyers, paint chips, anything!
Get ready to explore with wild abandon!
