About the Course

Take an in-depth, hands-on look at materials, techniques, and approaches to making abstract paintings. Through studio demonstrations and gallery walkthroughs, you’ll form a deeper understanding of what a studio practice means and how ideas develop from close looking. Readings and other resources provide a broader cultural, intellectual, and historical context around the era when these artists were active. The artists featured in the course—Willem de Kooning, Yayoi Kusama, Agnes Martin, Barnett Newman, Jackson Pollock, Ad Reinhardt, and Mark Rothko—serve as points of departure for your own abstract paintings. Learners who wish to participate in the optional studio exercises may need to purchase art supplies. A list of suggested materials is included in the first module....

I’ve learnt so much about Abstract Expressionism and have a huge new appreciation for these artists. This course was a great tool and distraction during lockdown, would highly recommend.

I have thoroughly enjoyed doing this course. It has proved useful in boosting my confidence in studying, as well as providing me with inspiration for my own work, both in painting and ceramics.

Excessively technical. It seems a course of learning to paint. It doesn't bring me much.

Hace unos días que terminé todos los apartados y no sé donde comunicarme porque todavía no tengo el certificado, en ocasiones se precisa el certificado con rapidez y aquí estoy perdiendo tiempo tratando de ver como finalizarlo. Al final he tenido que hacer otro curso que sí me han dado el certificado al terminar... el tener que depender de que otra persona valore el trabajo hace que se pierda un tiempo que en muchos casos es escaso, y eso podría ser una tarea opcional no un requisito indispensable para obtener el certificado.

Information got too repetitive again. Course was too difficult to understand, and that I got bored immediately. This is another worst art course I have taken as well. Could have done better with the information and the videos. I give this course a 1 star out of 5.
