Extraordinary artist Paul Klee changed how we see and practice art and design. This exciting class offers an in-depth investigation and discovery into the artistry and magic of his work to enhance your own design experience. After looking closely and discussing his unique work, you will be guided in making several small fabric studies inspired by his pared-down abstraction, line and sensitive playfulness. The class is supported by rich visual material. Techniques will be demonstrated as needed while focusing on abstract blocks, line and color.

Daily Schedule:

You won’t have to stare at a screen all day!

There will be two Powerpoint presentations every day, and you will have access to a recording of the presentations for your own use for a while afterwards.

Times are in Central Time.

8-30 – 9.30 We will start with a visual presentation, discussion and setting the daily focus for the day. We will see and have the opportunity to discuss clear images on your own device. I have lots of great images, and of course you will have been looking at images and ideas in preparation!

9.30 – 11.30 You can get on with creating your own work, and experimenting with the various studies that I have set. You have a choice of working on your own composition all week, and / or on the daily focus assignment. You may schedule time to talk one-on-one with me if you choose to.

11.30- 12-30 Lunch break

12.30- 2.30 Work on your assignments. Scheduled 10 minute one-on-one consultations with me can also be at this time if you choose.

2.30 – 4.00 Presentation to round off and discuss the day’s work you have done, + any challenges or questions.

This approach works well for the adaptable, versatile artists that we are, as it combines looking, learning and working time, both private and in a class group

Please email me any questions you have to rosalie.dace@gmail.com and let me know anything about you and work that you would like me to know.
Please put The Thinking Eye in the Subject line.

I am looking forward to meeting you and enjoying Paul Klee with you.
