Painting: A State of Mind
Charles Long
Tuition $1,195
Code D0815-23
Henry Matisse said, “The essential thing is to work in a state of mind that approaches prayer.” Intermediate and advanced painters examine their current intentions while developing the essential. In one-on-one studio meetings, students are encouraged to notice their process of being and transformation as they negotiate between critical discernment and ‘owning’ this process. In group critiques, we discuss activation through the movement of materials, images, and form, which brings one closer to intention. Can intention and process become the same? How can a ‘flow state’ be achieved? Does a state of mind and action transfer through finished work? We look at artists who have inspired your practice for clues.
