Summer: Colour & Motion with Brendan McGorry
Ignite your creativity and immerse yourself in the fascinating world of cubism’s evolution! This summer art class is open to all skill levels and offers a fun, supportive environment, all set to an inspiring musical backdrop.
Building on art history, we'll explore key elements of painting: composition, color, and technique. Through the lens of Brendan's work, we’ll uncover how historical movements shape today’s artistic expression.
We’ll dive into the visionary works of Futurism and Orphism, studying artists like Sonia Delaunay, Fernand Léger, and Umberto Boccioni. These masterpieces will inspire us as we break down our observational drawings, reimagining them by blurring the boundaries between reality and abstraction.
Join us for this transformative experience, and leave with a finished artwork that captures your creative journey!
