Virtual Painting 3 will be a continuation from Spring Session 2 virtual painting class with a greater emphasis on individualized research projects. We will be experimenting with different techniques and concepts related to both materials and styles. We will explore both representation and abstraction in our lectures and research to help us develop our projects at an individual level.

Each student will be given the opportunity and assistance in drafting sketches, concept drawings, and research notes to create a final project that will be shared with the class at the end of the course. In all, we will be evolving our skills from previous classes to create pieces that present the amalgamation of research, exploration, and fun!

This class is for students who have taken a previous TJF virtual painting class or have permission from the instructor.  If you have not taken Virtual Painting 1 & 2, please contact Operation ART Program Manager Isabella Brezenski at isabella@thejoelfund.org
