Marianita Stevans – Personal Interiors
Level: intermediate
Course code: #stsaas2
Course fee:$250
This course is about painting from one's inner world, painting what attracts us as individuals and holds our interest. In our collected objects and in the postcards and reproductions with which we surround ourselves, we see certain threads of meaning. We see this in the books we read, the music we listen to, the films we watch, those things that we continually look at in paintings when we go to museums. We choose the items that we have in our studios and, in turn, they define us as artists. They play a key role in our painting. How do we articulate this in our work? We will work on finding this direction, this interest, this passion that, for each one of us, is different. We will paint in class, and we will discuss these ideas within individual and group critiques. Recommended reading provided. Open to students with previous painting knowledge.
