ABOUT THE EVENT
Abstract Art Workshop with Adrian Martinez
What is your definition of abstract art? Why did it start and when? Like all creative activities, there is no single way of understanding abstract art. However, there are practical techniques to be learned—those practiced by 20th century artists and artists of today. The Abstract Art Workshop with Adrian Martinez includes painting, drawing and mixed media. The workshop explores each student’s connection to the past 100 years of avant-garde art. Martinez shares his firsthand experience as an artist in New York and London in the 1960’s and 1970’s and his study of how abstract art and culture changed in the 20th and 21st century. Each session will begin with a brief introduction to a particular movement and the artist that best represents it. At the end of this workshop you will understand the visual language of abstract art, and how to apply these techniques to any type of painting.
