About the event
“Expressive” refers to a style that emphasizes the artist’s emotional response and personal expression rather than realistic depiction. “Plein Air” is a French term meaning “in the open air” and refers to working outdoors directly from the landscape. Accordingly, in this workshop series, class sessions will take place outdoors, offering a chance to step away from the studio and into nature, while also allowing for a loose, expressive style. Over the course of three weekly sessions, participants will develop essential compositional techniques while creating artworks in their medium of choice. This course provides students a unique opportunity to explore creativity in the inspiring natural landscapes around Middlebury, beginning or continuing an outdoor artistic practice in a supportive and collaborative environment. This series is designed for artists of all experience levels.
*Workshop to take place outdoors at various TAM trailheads, weather permitting. Please come dressed appropriately for trail conditions.
