Landscape is a tool to explore and embrace the context of a given environment. We will observe landscapes embracing the world around us as well as contemporary works with a new perspective. We will explore works that incorporate man-made structures, plant life, and the interaction between these elements. Paintings and drawings will be made both from photographs taken by the students (having a smart phone is helpful, but not necessary) and through direct plein-air observation in the immediate area surrounding ACA’s campus (weather and light permitting). Works will be created using acrylic paint. Open to artists of all levels and abilities!
