À propos de ce cours
I love looking to artists and art styles of the past for inspiration as I explore artistic process, art media application, imagery, and mark making. In this class we look to the abstract works of Wassily Kandinsky and explore the ways he approached art making.
In this class we'll start by making lines and marks in marker, then add some wax resist with crayons, colored pencils, or oil pastels Finally we'll put some washes of watercolor over the top to bring our abstractions to life.
By the end of this class you'll have:
- Explored the life and art of Wassily Kandinsky including his music and science inspired artworks
- Explored how you can build up an abstract image with marks and color using marker, wax resist, and watercolor
- Gotten inspired by the shapes, marks, colors, and compositions of Kandinsky
- Create an artwork inspired by elements of Kandinsky's work with your artistic preferences and art style
This class is intended for art history loving, creatives of all skill levels as we look to artists of the past and present for inspiration in our own artistic journey.

Hi, I'm Elisabeth Wellfare a United States based artist and art educator with seventeen years high school Art teaching experience. In 2017 I published my first children's book which I illustrated and authored called The Dinosaur Family. Then in 2024 I added some new Dinosaur family members and created a "for all ages" coloring book. Both publications are available through my website. When not creating art or teaching I am taking care of my two adorable boys Oliver and Winston. They love to get into mommy's art studio and create alongside me.
I love exploring a wide range of art media including ink, colored pencil, watercolor, acrylic, embroidery, and photography to name a few. I take any chance I get to work on mixed media artworks and push the boundaries of how to create... Voir le profil complet
