In this master class workshop for advanced painters, students investigate their intentions and concerns within their painting practice while working at a rigorous pace in the studio. The class consists of one-on-one and group critiques, discussions, readings, and ample studio time to make new inquiries into their work. Participants are challenged to explore new avenues and dive deep into the content and methods behind their practice. Topics for discussion are narrative structures, research methodologies, discursive frameworks, color and gesture, symbolism, and more. Students are asked to bring a digital portfolio of recent work to share with the class. The instructor teaches only from 9 am – 3 pm. The Artistic Director of Painting, Drawing, and Printmaking teaches from 3 – 5pm.   ‏‏‎ ‎Portfolios will be accepted on a rolling basis.
