Quiz: 
What is the term derived from the Italian for a sculpture that sticks out slightly from the surface it is carved from, but is not completely detached from it?

Abstract....the "A" Word.

Abstract Art...Non-Representational Class. I taught the 2nd Abstract Workshop yesterday. I, personally, was very excited in presenting it, as this was the one time I felt I could truly present the "emotional artist within concept". Abstract is so reliant on Emotion and Composition...not that all art isn't...but they are the backbone for Abstract.

The class lent itself to times of raw emotion story-telling....which perhaps made for some uncomfortable times.  All in the class were troopers. There were a few students that I felt might have been uncomfortable or not ready for Abstract or for whatever individual reason. I do hope all received the necessary lessons that Abstract Art gives.

There was one project that everyone...I do mean everyone...of the students painted with such actuate results from the lesson given. One student was brought to tears, as I. I would have loved to have photos of each one to show on this blog...but they were so personal, I didn't feel like I should move in on them by asking permission to post their art.

Expression through Art is a wonderful thing...Art is Therapy.

Thank you, Abstract Art Students.
