Nature Re-imagined: taking lessons from Georgia O'Keeffe with Brendan McGorry

Beginning with the art and life of the great American artist Georgia O’Keeffe, we will explore how to visually deconstruct the natural world and how to virtually inhabit the interspace between appearances and the abstract.

Students will be guided in unique painting applications and techniques. We will begin by breaking down observational drawings and, with a newfound knowledge of compositional balance, rebuild these towards painting. Through this process, comes the development of a fresh and surprisingly exciting visual language

The course is suited to students of all levels of experience.
Students will take home a mature completed work.
