The main purpose of this workshop is to break down our personal and societal preconceptions of “boundaries in art”. Artist Manting will guide us in letting go of the fear of making art, while we express our emotions with different genres of music, and all workshop participants will collaborate on several bigger drawings together. The focus is not about the techniques or about the end result of the works, there will be no judgement or criticism of our creations. The workshop will just be about flowing with how we feel, being present, and sharing time, thoughts, and interacting with colors.

 After some collaborative exercises, we’ll redirect our attention back to the individual. We’ll take a look at some of the works by masters of abstract art, and deconstruct their paintings. We’ll search for and steal useful elements and concepts that we like, which we can then put into our own post-card size paintings/drawings that you can take home!
