May Adult Workshop - Adult Abstract Painting Workshop
About this event
REGISTER Abstract Expressionists: The Women – Adult Abstract Painting Workshop Facilitated by Sara Noori Step into the vibrant, expressive world of Abstract Expressionists: The Women. Inspired by artists such as Helen Frankenthaler, Joan Mitchell, Vivian Springford, Grace Hartigan, and Lee Krasner, this workshop invites you to explore painting as a space for movement, emotion, and discovery. Engage in a process-based approach to painting that emphasizes exploration over outcome. Through guided exercises and technical experimentation with layering, movement, and mark-making, you will be invited to experiment with building a visual language rooted in intuition and creative risk-taking. A mix of visual and creative prompts will guide the process and spark inspiration, offering accessible ways to generate ideas and move into image-making. We will also explore how to “read” abstract paintings, not by figuring them out, but through personal observation and interpretation. No prior experience is necessary. Enjoy a supportive, open-ended workshop to learn, explore, reflect, and create! ____ Artist Bio Sara Noori Sara Noori is an artist and educator whose work explores identity, collaboration, and the body, both individual and collective, as a host for culture, memory, and creative survival.
