Expressionism & Abstraction

This class will focus on developing the skills that allow each student to be an exceptional artist. Learn the 'secrets' that make good art. Any approach is acceptable - from representational to abstract - with an emphasis on Expressionism. Start painting right away in the first class. Fun and informative. Mr. Omwake taught for over 20 years at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, has been teaching at the Delaware Art Museum since the 1970's, and has his own classes in Chadds Ford. Eo’s approach is to foster each student according the students interests. This is not a one size fits all approach.
