Supercharged painting Summer session week of August 1

Ai Weiwei at Asia Society.
I love a creative and fresh way to make an image and this Chinese artist, just released from jail in Beijing for his political blogs and tweets has a fresh perspective on Western culture.
There a review of him and his work by Roberta Smith in the Weekend Arts section of the New York Times today(Friday, July 29). When I see a piece like his "Profile of Marcel Duchamp" which consists of a bent coathanger and sunflower seeds I am delighted and inspired to clear my mind, strip down and seek a fresh new vision with every painting or drawing I attempt. See you next week, don't forget to signup for the next session which starts on Wednesday. john.
