Painting the Subconscious

Explore a process in which you tap into your creative subconscious. Guided by demonstrations, prepare and complete two paintings, with a 30–minute group discussion at the end of the course. We will be using acrylic paint on wood panels.

From this class, one piece you produce will be included in the gallery exhibition, Spectrum, on view at UFORGE Gallery during the month of July 2012.

This class takes place at UFORGE Gallery, 767 Centre St, Jamaica Plain, just around the corner from the Eliot School. Download directions. (pdf)

This assignment will challenge you to make use of the colors of the spectrum, the range of colors observed when light is dispersed through a prism. Your challenge as a participating artist is to choose your subject matter while using these colors; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet (ROY G BIV) through 2D (painting, photography, graphic or assemblage) or 3D (sculpture). Find your inspiration at the end of a rainbow.
