SECOND CLASS, January 22, 2015

This was a class to experiment with color and form abstractly.  Students did a series of exercises.  First they painted dabs of color which they let run together.  When this dried, they put a geometric shape on top of the first layer to create a sense of space.

Then they painted dabs which did not run together.  They added  lines to connect the patches of paint.
