John Murray classes week of Oct. 4, 2010.The evolution of the brushstroke from Manet to
Impressionism, the Fauvres, Modernism, Expressionism, Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art and Post-Modernism is something every artist should consider in their own struggle with their work. Let's try a piece (or pieces ) that explore the range and tools of mark-making.
All painting classes, please bring a few canvases and any implement that can be used to apply paint, in addition to brushes of all widths and degrees of stiffness and softness.
Post-Modern Assemblage, in our work what constitutes the brush stroke? is it 200,000 clear plastic straws, as is sometimes the case in Tara Donovan's work? Glue spots across a rusted steel plate? Folded pieces of packing cardboard and spray paint? Please give it some thought.
See you next week. john.
