Glenn Schminke Room 103.2

Abstract art can be almost anything and doesn’t have to be anything in particular. Express yourself or get silly or let your mind wander as you create something abstract in a no-pressure environment.

We’ll start with some exercises to get the creative juices flowing. Then you will get some open-ended direction and time to create, maybe in a way that’s new to you, and with the help of some prompts that will help you let loose your imagination
