Invite new ideas into your art practice through a series of playful exercises designed to wake you up, consider new possibilities, and connect you with art that has resonated with you over years. Each week Lenny Moskowitz shares his processes of creative investigation, demonstrating his approach in a live 45 minute Zoom Meeting, taking an hour break to individually explore the concept, and returning to another 45 minute group Zoom discussion and feedback.
Lenny’s assignments will include looking at how artists throughout history have been influenced by work outside their cultures or eras, including palette, mark making, dimensional space, and composition, and how you can use this concept to inform your creative choices. You will also use images and ideas of your own work as a departure point for new possibilities by searching out new resolutions and pushing abstractions. This playful class inspires curiosity by activating imagination as you work with Lenny, as well as individually in your studio and collectively as a group.
Supply List:
A variety of drawing implements such as pencils crayons and water soluble crayons.
Large drawing paper, scissors, glue, pencils, old magazines (preferably magazines that are colorful, like fashion, home and garden, etc.), paint (your choice, acrylic* or watercolor), a couple of brushes, a palette to mix paint on, a spray bottle to keep your acrylic from drying out, painting surfaces (such as canvas boards, a stretch canvas, or paper), and a water jar.
*If you’re using acrylics it’s nice to have a medium, which is clear acrylic paint with no pigment in it. This comes in gloss or matte. Lenny prefers the matte because the paint is matte.
