This Adult Art Workshop is inspired by Vasily Kandinsky, a pioneer of abstract art who believed that colour and shape could express emotions as powerfully as music. In this class, winter landscapes become a starting point rather than a final image.
You will explore how to break down nature into colour, line, rhythm, and form, moving away from literal representation toward abstraction. This class encourages intuition, imagination, and playful experimentation.
