Diving into Abstraction again . . .
Karen Rand-Anderson “Diving into Abstraction Workshop” Demo
In 2017, I had the pleasure of taking a workshop at the Providence Art Club with painter Karen Rand-Anderson titled “Diving into Abstraction”. Eyes closed drawings were part of the direct response to the media and paper close at hand. It reminded me of the sketches I did a long time ago when learning model making. Seemed like a full circle back to this class and I was very grateful for the trip!
One of the first exercises I did in Karen’s class.
Part two follows with more about the role of abstraction in fine art, design and technology where 3D software and animation is an essential tool as a graphic artist and chaos is happening with JavaScript!
