Ever looked at an abstract painting and wondered, “What am I supposed to be seeing?”
You’re not alone. Abstract art can feel mysterious, confusing, even a little intimidating—but it can also be playful, expressive, and surprisingly accessible.
In this relaxed and welcoming workshop, we’ll explore how artists like Robert Rauschenberg, Pablo Picasso, and Jackson Pollock challenged the traditional idea of what art should look like. Through discussion, examples, and creative exercises, you’ll begin to see how abstract art isn’t about “getting it right”, but about experimenting, feeling, and seeing differently.
Whether you’re completely new to art or simply curious about the abstract world, this session will help you look with fresh eyes and discover that abstract art might make more sense—and be more fun—than you think.
