This is a cumulative, three day-workshop. Attendance at all three sessions is recommended.
Bats Langley's Impressionist Picnic is an exploration of impressionist art and how it has changed the way we visualize contemporary life. From pixilation used in LED screens to how we use filters on our phones, impressionism has changed our eyes and brains, influencing how we look at color, shape, and design.
Students will learn and understand impressionism through discussion, painting exercises, and creating their own impressionist works. No experience is necessary, but participants should be comfortable using paint.
