Sessions

Four movements

The four sessions

Impressionism + Post-Impressionism

Learn from artists like Van Gogh to use color, brushstrokes, light and shape to evoke a mood instead of painting something realistic.

Cubism

Learn from Picasso how to see things in a completely new way — viewing something from many angles and putting it back together in a new abstract configuration.

Surrealism

Artists like Salvador Dalí show us the way to tap into our subconscious and enter the dream world for inspiration.

Abstract Expressionism

Learn from artists like Jackson Pollock to fully inhabit our bodies for spontaneous creation and improvisation.
