Abstracting From Nature with Jane Sassaman

Instructor: Jane Sassaman

Nature is an endless source of inspiration. In this class we will examine a wide variety of artists’ interpretations of nature before beginning to manipulate natural forms ourselves.

On the first day of class you will choose a plant subject to work through a set of design exercises. This subject needs to have a variety of elements to work with like a blossom, stem, leaves, buds, etc. to make the exercises successful. You don’t have to be in love with the subject, because at the end of the day you can jump ships and work on any subject you’d like, but many folks keep working on their original plant.

Drawing skills are not needed but participants should have a strong interest in developing their own design language and unique visual symbols.
