Poster<\/a><\/p>\n

What kind of pictures do you think of when you hear the words “abstract art”?
\n“Abstract” is the focus on mental representation and characteristics of things. In art, the artist extracts these concepts and formulates them into an artistic motif that can often be difficult for people to understand, interpret or explain.
\nDue to the nature of abstract art, the depiction of the subject can be vastly different depending on the artist as his values and way of thinking are reflected within the piece they create.<\/p>\n

Now at the ICC, we want to give you the tools to find the joy in expressing yourself and enjoy the new sensation with an online trial workshop!
\nWe have invited the abstract artist and organizer of numerous exhibitions and workshops, Beatrix Fife to be our guest teacher.<\/p>\n

The theme of the workshop is “Air”.<\/p>\n

We’re sure that the works created will be incredibly different for each person.
\nThis workshop will be conducted live by using Zoom, and you can enjoy interacting with your fellow artists in English as you sketch together.<\/p>\n

Showing your own feelings and impressions. This is a great chance to share your ideas with others and find out more about yourself and each other.
\nPeople who aren’t too familiar with art are very welcome! Let’s have a great time drawing together at home!
\nWe’re waiting for your application now!<\/p>\n
