Color Lab: Paint + Design with Sadie Griesmer (Ages 12+)

Great painting begins with understanding color, form, and the artists who came before. In this immersive summer class, young artists will explore works from the permanent collection, drawing inspiration directly from the masters to inform their own creative practice.

In this 4 day course artists will 

• Conduct experiments in color from Josef Albers of the Bauhaus movement

• Incorporate hue, saturation, and value into their artwork

• Learn different painting techniques

• Develop and execute their own artworks

As part of the course, we will look at some select works from the Museum’s personal collection.
